CropConnect Conference 2022 – Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What is the value in attending the conference?

A1: The conference is of exceptional quality with a variety of sessions on agronomy, succession planning, marketing, the science of agriculture, climate change and more. Attending is an opportunity to be part of a multi-commodity conference that will allow the progressive farmer to find out what is new in most of the crops they produce. The conference allows farmers an opportunity to learn and network in a more efficient way.

Q2: Producers already pay the check-off, why is there a charge to attend the conference?

A2: The seven commodity groups have provided check-off dollars towards the event. This contribution reduced the price of registration by half from $150.00 per day to $75.00 per day and only $50.00 for the banquet, which includes dinner. Not all our growers/members attend events so it’s not fair to have check-off dollars pay for everything.

Q3: Is there a charge to attend an AGM?

A3: Members who wish to attend any of the AGM’s are not required to pay. Attendees will be required to purchase conference pass to attend any other sessions.

Q4: Why attend?

A4: In addition to agriculture-related sessions there will be over 50 exhibitors where you have a chance to talk with industry representatives and get the latest information on products and equipment. There will be keynote speakers on general topics, networking opportunities during the day, and an evening banquet. Don’t miss our banquet entertainment.

Q5: Do I get a reduced rate if I only want to attend one session or a few sessions?

A5: The registration is for one day or two days. We do not offer partial day registrations. We have a powerful program planned with incredible speakers and networking opportunities, so you may find yourself wanting to stay anyway.

Q6: Can I bring my spouse?

A6: Yes, attendees have the option to register a partner or spouse at the same attendee rate per day.

Q7: What is included in the registration?
