The dates and place for the second AgChat Foundation Agvocacy 2.0 Conference are set.
This year’s conference will be held August 22 and 23 in Nashville, Tennessee. We are excited to expand the conference by opening it up to 75 people who are passionate about agriculture and interested in learning how social media can be used to tell their stories. Whether you’re involved in production ag, hobby farming, agribusiness, Extension, commodity organizations, academia or another sector of the industry, we would love to have you join us for the Agvocacy 2.0 Conference!
Similar to last year, conference sessions will include both large and small group formats and cover social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, blogs and YouTube. This year, the planning committee is also planning more one-on-one chat sessions and networking in order to help you personalize your learning in a way that is most effective for your agvocacy strategy and situation. By building on the feedback and suggestions from the initial conference last August in Chicago, the AgChat Foundation is working hard to make this event even better than the last in order to keep empowering America’s farmers and ranchers to utilize social media as a way to share their agriculture stories.
Registration is $365 and includes a free t-shirt. You can apply to attend the conference between June 1 to June 24 and those selected will be notified in mid-July. Those chosen to attend are encouraged to seek sponsorships from local businesses and organizations to help cover conference and travel costs.
