The 2023 Agricultural Media Summit (AMS) will be held July 29 through August 2 in Palm Springs, California and registration is now open. AMS is the annual joint meeting of the Agricultural Communicators Network, the Livestock Publications Council and the Connectiv AgriMedia Committee. It is the largest annual conference of agricultural communicators in the US and provides opportunities for networking and professional development through workshops and speakers from industry professionals.

The summit is scheduled to kick off in Palm Springs with an address from Secretary of the California Dept of Food and Agriculture and Nebraska farm kid Karen Ross.
