The Alltech One Virtual Experience gets underway on May 18 bringing live, on-demand keynote addresses, presentations and interactive sessions on a variety of timely topics to thousands of participants around the world.

Of course, COVID19 will frame much of the discussion, and one presentation will feature South Dakota cattle rancher and BEEF Daily blogger Amanda Radke who will be discussing how this crisis is shifting our mindset and creating new opportunities in the livestock industry.

Radke says she will be talking about how the livestock industry adapts to this crisis could lead to some really positive changes. “Different businesses right off the bat started doing charitable work,” she said. “I think long term they might be able to find new opportunities just because they were willing to adapt and meet the needs of people right where they are.”

Radke will also discuss the importance of taking care of your mental health and talking to other people about your fears, frustrations, and anger. Her presentation will be available on the Alltech One Virtual Experience website on-demand May 18 with live Q&A scheduled for May 20 @ 1 p.m. EST.
