Welcome to the Ag Media Summit. Registration is open.
The Stag of Portland
It’s a beautiful day here in Portland. I got out early to run along the Willamette River walk.
Checked In To The Portland Hilton
Welcome to the Portland Hilton & Executive Tower. This is going to be the scene of the next several days as we attend the Agricultural Media Summit. I say “we” because we’ll be doing it together.
ARC Breakfast At AMS
If you’re involved in agricultural public relations are you involved in ARC? If not, why not? If not, then maybe you should learn more about the Agricultural Relations Council. You can do this by attending the ARC breakfast at the Ag Media Summit.
AAEA DSA Announced
The Agricultural Media Summit is approaching real fast. It’s still not too late to register if you haven’t done so yet.
Ag Media Summit Tours
Before you attend my “Agriblogging and Farm Podcasting 101” workshop at the Ag Media Summit in Portland you’re going to want to pick a cool pre-event tour. They’ve got several organized now so it’s time to get that registration in.
Ag Media Summit Seminar
It’s not too early to think about the Agricultural Media Summit in Portland, OR, July 23 – 26. Not much on the website yet but it’ll be there soon.
Andy Markwart Talks About IFAJ 2009
If you’ve read AgWired for long you know about the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists (IFAJ). I got to attend this year’s congress in Switzerland and am on the planning committee for the 2009 IFAJ Congress, which will be here in the United States! We’ve already had our first planning meeting. I know 4 years seems like a long time but not when you’re planning an international event.
Off To Kansas City To Plan IFAJ 2009
Posting may be a little light today since I’ll be in Kansas City, MO. Tomorrow a group of us will be meeting to start pre-planning the International Federation of Agricultural Journalists Congress 2009. I think the plan is to hold it in conjunction with the Ag Media Summit that year. If you have any ideas you’d like to offer, please feel free to let me know and I’ll be happy to pass them along.
Meet The New AAEA President
It’s the American Agricultural Editor’s Association new president right here on AgWired in our ZimmCast for this week. He’s Dan Crummett, Farm Progress Companies. I interviewed him right after he got sworn in at the recent Ag Media Summit. Dan talks about AAEA and why he thinks the organization has become stronger. He also discusses AAEA’s new strategic plan.
