This year's virtual Organic Summit is scheduled for November 16th to the 20th, 2020
This event is designed to provide the organic community the opportunity to connect virtually on critical industry issues and learn best practises from industry leaders from across the country and around the world. This year, the conference will be held over an entire week to ensure that we are able to provide our members from coast to coast the opportunity to maximize our speaker line up and attend all sessions.
A phenomenal line up of speakers ranging from IFOAM International, Rodale Institute, leaders from the agroecological movement, authors, seed savers and of course, we welcome government to present to stakeholders. The content will focus on big topics such as resiliency and food security, Organics 3.0 and how it interfaces with the regenerative movement, how conservation efforts and organic play nicely together, Indigenous approaches to agriculture, organic consumer trends, Organic Standards update and much more.
There will be three presenters daily with some workshops thrown into the mix so that we can continue to move the needle forward for organic. The conference will be occuring on Zoom and the links will be sent out after your registration process is complete. We care about your attention span and being able to schedule other meetings during your day so we have spread out the event through the course of the week. Daily, the schedule will flow like this (so you may know the timing of our events):
Session 1 at 1:00-1:45pm (EDT) 10:00-10:45am (PST)
