IFPA Member Toolkit

Your IFPA Profile

The first step in utilizing your IFPA membership to the fullest is to create a profile. Doing so allows you to quickly register for our events, view and download member exclusive content and appear in the member directory with your company so that people could network with you.

Watch the how-to video for a step-by-step or read the instructions below.

You count on IFPA to help grow your business, and that starts with creating an account on our portal. You’ll use it to register for an event, buy a product, make new connections, or develop your team. If you don’t have an account, it’s easy – and free – to create one.

Select create account below the green log in button.

See if you have an account by searching for your email address in the search box and clicking the ‘verify email’ button. This step is important because you don’t want to create a duplicate account for yourself.
- If you already have an account, log in. You can use the ‘forgot password’ function to reset it if necessary.
- If your email was not found it means you do not have an account in our system under that email address. Continue on to create one.
When your email was not found, you were brought to the profile creation page automatically. Begin by typing in your company name.
- Enter your email to make sure it's unique.
- Find your organization or create a new one.
- Fill out required fields. Please consider giving us your mailing address to help us provide service in your area.
If your organization already exists, select it from the drop down. If you don't see it, choose 'create account' and fill out the form to create a new organization.
Once you have created your organization account or have selected your existing organization account, create your individual account.
- Fill out the fields with asterisks as they are required.
- Fill out as many of the other fields as you like.
- Click the submit button at the bottom of the form.
This will generate an automated email sent to you at the email address you provided. You must click on the link in that email to create a password. If you don’t see this email right away, check your spam or junk folder.
This email address will be your username for freshproduce.com, and the password you set will be your password. We do not keep or track your password.
After you create your password, you will be directed to your Account, or ‘my info’ page. Click the word “change” in light gray at the top right corner of any box to change the information in that box.

Any employee can have an IFPA account associated with your company. Having an account makes doing business with IFPA simpler and ensures employees are visible to potential customers or suppliers. Be sure at least the following people have individual accounts:
- Anyone who will pay online for IFPA services – like membership dues or an expo booth
- Anyone who might want to register themselves or others for an event
- Anyone who might want access to member-exclusive research and information
- Anyone you might want listed in the Member Directory.
- Anyone who might want to serve on a committee or board.
- Anyone who would like to receive IFPA newsletters.
- Anyone who will oversee your expo booth at one of our events.

Manage your Company's Contacts

This feature is available exclusively to the Primary Contact and allows them to manage employee records by updating contact details (such as name, title, email, phone, or address), removing individuals who are no longer with the company, and adding new contacts by verifying their email and submitting their information. This is critical to you and your company getting the most up to date information.

Read the instructions below to update your companies record.

Only the Primary Contact of an IFPA member company will find this functionality on their Account page.

Log in to our website or go to your Account page if you're already logged in.
Find "Company Contact Management" in the left column under the profile picture area and click it.
On the Employee Management Page, you can:

Update Contact Information: Click the ">" next to "Contact Update" to change details like name, job title, address, email, or phone number. Click "Save" when done.
Remove Contacts: Click the ">" next to "No Longer Employed" to see a list of contacts. Check the box next to the names of those who no longer work for the company and click "Save".
Add New Contact: Click the green "Add New Contact" button at the top right. Enter the new person's email address and click "Verify Email". Fill in the required information on the next page and click "Submit".

If you need any help, please call our Member Services department at (302) 738-7100, and we'll guide you through the process.

IFPA Event Attendee Lists

As part of IFPA’s efforts to maximize member connections, we encourage registrants to download attendee lists before and after our events. Use them for your pre-event marketing, for on-site meetings, and for post-event follow-up to build lasting business relationships.

Watch the how-to video for a step-by-step or read the instructions below.

Log onto the IFPA website and follow a few steps to get the list, which includes contact information.

Go to freshproduce.com and log in to your Account page, also called your ‘my info’ page.
Look for the “Welcome” greeting and your name at the top right corner, then look to the left for word “Directories” near the middle. Click there.
This will open a drop-down menu with two headings. "Member Lists (only for members)" is the heading located above the two member directory links and "Attendee Lists (only for attendees)" is the heading located above the list of Event Attendee Lists. Neither heading is clickable.
Select the event you would like to access the Attendee List for. Please note that you will only have access to the Attendee Lists for the events that you are already registered to attend as well
Use the filter categories to the left and the search box at the top right to target your list.
Once you get your results, you can copy and paste them into a document or print them out directly from your screen.

Be aware that printouts are limited to the first two thousand results. Use the search and filters to get a more-targeted list and reduce the numbers if needed. You will still be able to view all results, including live links, such as phone numbers, email addresses, and websites from your search results.

To strengthen your networking for every event, pull your lists every couple of weeks before the event and again after the event to capture all attendees. IFPA offers this service for a year after each event to enhance member connections.

If you are not personally registered for the event, you won’t be able to download the list, even if someone else from your company is registered. This is a benefit only for registrants, adding value to event registrations.

Member Directory

The member directory boasts many benefits including being able to find contact information for those with whom you would like to do business. You can find buyers for your own products/services and find companies who supply what you need.

Member Directory

First, ensure others can find you! Update your company profile to increase your visibility. Be sure your company’s listing has a complete description of your products and services. To do that:

The primary IFPA contact for your company should go to freshproduce.com and log in.
From their Account page, have the primary contact click on the ‘company info’ link on the left (this is visible only to the primary contact).
Make any updates to company information and save.

Second, create your own lists to get information for potential business partners – suppliers, buyers, or service providers – by company or individual.

To create a customized list of companies from the directory:

Go to freshproduce.com and log in to your Account page, also called your ‘my info’ page.
Look for the “Welcome” greeting and your name at the top right corner, then look to the left for word “Directories” near the middle. Click there.
This will open a drop-down menu with two headings. "Member Lists (only for members)" is the heading located above the two member directory links and "Attendee Lists (only for attendees)" is the heading located above the list of Event Attendee Lists. Neither heading is clickable.
Under the "Member Lists (only for members)" heading you will see links to two versions of the IFPA Member Directory, IFPA Member Directory Colleague and IFPA Member Directory Company. Select IFPA Member Directory Company.
Use the filters on the left to refine your list. Filter by business type, products and services, or ownership.
Use the search box at the top right side of your results list to filter by company name, country, state, or city.
This will give you a list of IFPA member companies that match your search criteria.

Search results are limited to the first two thousand companies. Use the search and filter functions to be more specific and reduce the numbers if needed.

To pull a customized list of individuals – or even a single individual:

Go to the Directories link on your Account page the same way as listed above.
Choose the IFPA Member Directory Colleague option.
Type either the name of the company or the name of an individual into the search box at the top of the right side of the page to get a single person or a list of all employees for a particular company.
Or use the Job Function and/or Job Level filters at the left side of the page to get the specific people you are looking for.
Once you get the list results, you can copy and paste them into a document or use the information straight from your screen.

If you do not see someone you believe should be listed, they may have chosen to keep their information private, or they may not be listed in the IFPA database. We only have information provided and authorized by members.

Note that search results from the ‘by colleague’ option are limited to two thousand names. Use the search and filters functions to target your list and reduce the numbers if needed.
