My mentor was amazing! She did a wonderful job of helping to answer my questions that I had about the industry, grad school, and all of the areas that you can work in confections. She was really helpful in introducing me to others and improved my networking at this event. This was my first conference, so I thought the supplier show was really interesting and a really good opportunity for networking. I really enjoyed the program and hope to attend next year!

The Student Program was absolutely amazing. I met so many amazing students, mentors, and industry professionals. I feel extremely lucky to have had the opportunity to network with so many incredible people while forging connections that will last a lifetime. I really enjoyed being able to talk to so many suppliers and try samples as well. This was my one and only in person PMCA, and it is truly one for the books. I will forever carry the memories, experiences, and connections I have made. Thank you PMCA for an unforgettable experience.
