Once available, additional details will be posted under the resources tab below, as well as on the Focus on Fresh page in Co+op U.
How to Enroll
Registration is held online via Co+op U. You must have a user profile set up in order to login and register. Your co-op’s Co+op U administrator can assist you with access to Co+op U and registering.
Cost
NCG pays for three staff from each co-op to attend Focus on Fresh, regardless of number of store locations. The costs of airfare, hotel accommodations, ground transportation from Minneapolis-St. Paul International Airport (MSP) to the conference site, meals during the conference and all conference materials are included with your registration.
Additional Attendee Requests
We are thrilled by the strong interest co-ops have in Focus on Fresh. However, due to space limitations, we can only guarantee and sponsor up to three attendees per co-op. For additional attendees beyond the three sponsored by NCG, there will be a flat fee of $1,000 per person. This fee covers airfare, hotel accommodations, conference meals and materials such as handouts. The fee for additional attendees who do not require lodging is $500. Following Focus on Fresh, NCG will invoice your co-op for each additional attendee.
Additional attendees should register on Co+op U and will be placed on a waitlist. Additional attendees will be notified, moved off the waitlist and registered on a first come, first served basis based on availability. All registrations will be finalized by Monday, June 2. Any additional attendees on the waitlist that cannot be accommodated will be notified.
