The 11th International Berry Congress, organised by Freshuelva, will feature two internationally renowned speakers as the keynote speakers on its programme. The writer and leadership trainer Luis Galindo will open the event on Wednesday 17 June, whilst the branding expert Andy Stalman will bring the Congress to a close on Thursday 18 June. Both talks will take place at Casa Colón in Huelva, the venue for an event that will once again make the province a global hub for the berry sector.
The opening lecture will be held on Wednesday 17 June at 9.30 am under the title ‘Continuing to build an exciting future together’. Luis Galindo is one of Spain’s leading figures in leadership, talent development and motivation. With over 44 years’ experience in management roles at national and international companies, he has delivered more than 3,500 lectures in numerous countries and has collaborated with some of the leading companies and organisations in Spain and Europe.
Author of the book Reilusionarse, Galindo has built a career focused on the influence of attitude, positive psychology and leadership within organisations. His presentation at the conference will address the importance of tackling challenges with enthusiasm, cooperation and adaptability – values that form part of the DNA of a sector that has successfully evolved to become a European leader in the production and marketing of soft fruits.
The closing conference will take place on Thursday 18 June, starting at 12.30 pm, and will be led by Andy Stalman, one of the world’s most influential specialists in brand strategy, innovation and business transformation. Under the title ‘Sowing the future, reaping success’, Stalman will reflect on the importance of building strong brands, generating trust and standing out in an increasingly competitive global environment.
Internationally recognised as one of the leading voices in branding, Stalman has advised companies, institutions and organisations across various sectors in more than twenty countries over the last two decades. A regular speaker at international forums and the author of several seminal books, his work focuses on helping organisations connect innovation, purpose and reputation to successfully meet the challenges of the future.
With the participation of Luis Galindo and Andy Stalman, the 11th International Berry Congress reinforces its commitment to offering high-value-added content that goes beyond the strictly agricultural sphere and provides new perspectives on leadership, talent, innovation and positioning in global markets.
The Congress will take place on 17 and 18 June at the Casa Colón in Huelva and will once again bring together producers, marketers, ancillary businesses, researchers, technical experts and institutions linked to the berry sector.
The programme will include technical conferences, round-table discussions and networking opportunities focusing on key issues such as sustainability, opening up new markets, innovation, social responsibility and the promotion of healthy lifestyles.
