The Visit Savannah team—Joseph Marinelli, Jennifer Thompson, and Stephanie Muehlher—recently welcomed back the Southeast Fruit and Vegetable Association (SEFVA) to Savannah. This marks the 26th consecutive year SEFVA has chosen Savannah as the home for its annual convention, which continues to experience steady growth in attendance.

Looking ahead, the January 2026 convention and expo will utilize the newly renovated Savannah Convention Center’s expanded exhibit hall and space.

Pictured with Joseph, Jennifer, and Stephanie are SEFVA representatives Charles Hall, Kelley Atkinson, Katie Oxford, and Chris Butts. The group is negotiating to keep this thriving event in Savannah for the next three years.
