Registration Still Open for Virtual Ag Expo and International Sustainable Winegrowing Summit •

ATASKADERO – Since 2003, Sustainable Ag-Expo has been at the forefront of providing first class educational materials for farmers, researchers and consultants. Each year at Ag Expo and the International Summit on Sustainable Viticulture, the latest research and technology in viticulture is presented by the world’s leading experts to help professionals compete in an ever-changing business landscape.

This year’s virtual format provides access to a wider range of topics and speakers who will be present on 9 and 10 November. November to December 4, with over 25 hours of live and recorded content. During these four weeks, registrants will have easy access to all content; this is a positive development in the fight against the pandemic, allowing students and professionals to show valuable flexibility during an already busy period of the year.

Registration is now open for Ag Expo 2020, said Chris Beale, executive director of the winery team.  Because of the COVID 19 pandemic, we had to give up our personal event quickly, but we find it a big advantage to keep it online. The virtual format gives us just that much flexibility. Instead of compressing all presentations into 3 days, we can offer an even wider range of course content over time to dig a little deeper. In addition, our speakers come from all over the world, including Tasmania, New York and Pennsylvania. We now have speakers who can visit the exhibition without having to fly through the country, and registrars can access valuable content for a whole month at will.

Experts from all over the country will participate in the online exhibition to take part in the full program. Topics include climate adaptation, leaf curl and red spot, supply and demand of grapes, invasive insects, biocontrol of Pierce’s disease, irrigation technology, root production, regenerative agriculture, biochar, gender management technology, co-existence of vines and hemp, weed control, healthy tillage and sustainable marketing.

The event offers more than 15 hours of training in the pesticide management department and more than 20 hours of work by the CE-certified agricultural advisor. Full access to all live and recorded content costs $345 per four-week period. For more information or to register, please visit www.sustainableagexpo.org or send an email to [email protected].
