Those states are: Alabama, Arkansas, Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, Missouri, Mississippi, North Carolina, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas!

We were honored to sponsor Today’s Dietitian Spring Symposium for the 4th year in a row earlier this month. As a 2023 sponsor and exhibitor, we connected with registered dietitians in the expo hall, sharing pecan samples, recipe cards and educational materials to educate them about pecans’ powerful trifecta of top-notch nutrition, irresistible flavor, and rich heritage.

To strengthen engagement with attendees, the American Pecan Council hosted an intimate, invitation-only evening mixer for influential dietitians, including the APC’s 2023 social media partners. Guests at ‘Savoring Savannah with American Pecans’ enjoyed pecan-forward hors d’oeuvres, a pecan-inspired cocktail, and a tasting guide to inspire attendees to make pecans an everyday delight.

Here are just a few pictures from our time in Savannah, we loved meeting and chatting with everyone!!
