Annual Meeting-Feb 6-8
Harrah's in LasVegas
You won't want to miss this year's annual conference, to be held in Las Vegas, February 6-8 at Harrah’s.
The organizing committee is planning for some great sessions which will include the latest in strawberry research, a focus on feature farms and interactive discussions on marketing and the use of social media.
Holding a meeting in the desert makes it difficult to do a farm tour, so there is a real emphasis this year on highlighting and profiling several farm operations. Participants will be have a chance to see and hear about farm operations in Vermont, Ohio, Ontario, Oregon and California.
