CONVENTION CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE

Welcome to the AGA Annual Show at the Grand Sandestin Resort! This year let’s get ready to Rumble with the 2025 Tailgate Themed Convention! We are going to have a great time with some of your favorite teams displayed at each of our Vendor Booths. Don’t forget they will be judged! We will also have the Best Bagger Competition which will take place on July 14th at 7:30 p.m. This 2025 Convention will not disappoint in entertainment. First night, get out those dancing shoes for DJ Night and Photo Booth Fun! Second night will make you laugh till you cry! Plus so much more each night. This year $50 Ticket sales will be Monday night instead of Tuesday. We will also have Heads Tails Game, raffled packages, and so much more!

CHRIS CROSBY UTZ/GOLDEN FLAKE

With all of this said, Let’s not forget that none of these events could take place without our dedicated Committee. We want to thank each one of the 2025 AGA Convention Committee Members, which include Kirk Clark, Mitchell Grocery Corporation; Gerry D’Alessandro, Fresh Value; Frank D’Amico, III, BTC Wholesale; Harold Garrett, Gateway Foods; Charles Weathington, UNFI; Chris Woods, Retail Data Systems; and a special thanks to AGA’S Event and Education Director, Julie Owen. We know you will enjoy this year’s schedule and are excited that you decided to join us to network with industry leaders, peers, friends and family. While you are here, if you need anything, please look for an AGA Board Member or staff member. We are always willing to help and want to make sure your time with us is memorable!
