       2019 Schedule

"If you've ever been out swimming by yourself, treading water, frustrated, and not able to get improvements for your clients, this conference can really help. Getting an opportunity to meet with other professionals in this field - bouncing ideas around and meeting the right people - is very valuable. This conference has been extremely helpful for me." -David Weinand, Minnesota Department of Agriculture
