Fresno, Calif. and Menomonee Falls, Wisc. (AgPR) April 18, 2023 | The American Society of Agricultural Consultants (ASAC) 60th Anniversary Conference will be held in Fresno, California from November 5 – 7, 2023. The conference, themed “Go West! Stake Your Claim in Ag Consulting,” will cover a variety of topics relevant to the agricultural industry. The city was chosen as the venue because it is the site of the first Organizational Meeting that took place in 1963.
The conference will take place at the Wyndham Garden Fresno Airport, located at 5090 East Clinton Way in Fresno. Attendees will be welcomed to the conference with a reception on Sunday evening, followed by two days of educational sessions on Monday and Tuesday morning. On Tuesday afternoon, agricultural tours will be offered from noon to 6 p.m.
The conference will cover a variety of topics relevant to the agricultural industry. Although the program has not been finalized yet, the committee is currently considering sessions on macro-economic updates, climate and weather, hot topics in ag law, dairy pricing and markets, an overview of Fresno County agriculture, and a panel discussion on water rights and regulations.
Over the next six weeks, a conference theme and a program roster with speakers will be finalized. A hotel reservation link for the Wyndham will be made available soon.
