"I truly feel so fortunate to have been able to have this experience. I have met incredible individuals from a range of origins, all of whom have inspiring stories to share. I also had the opportunity to learn so much about the natural refrigeration industry - this experience truly unearthed a field that I had very little idea about and placed it into perspective. All expo floor guides were great with their explanations, connecting me with people, and providing insight into their field.”
