The Ag Connections Conference, presented by MNP, has already sold 75 per cent of its ticket capacity, and looks to fill up long before the last minute.

This producer-focused event, now in its second year, continues to attract leaders and innovators from across the agricultural industry and will be held at the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede grounds on Nov. 20.

Even with an increased number of anticipated attendees from the inaugural event last year, organizers are expecting to run out of tickets soon, instead of closing applications on Oct. 31 as originally planned.

With more than 40 exhibitors on site and a $75 registration fee that includes both breakfast and lunch, the conference promises to offer an opportunity for networking, education and growth in the agricultural sector, organizers say.

This year’s keynote speakers include Mokah Shmigelsky, who will delve into the growing role of Artificial Intelligence in agriculture, and Robert Saik, who will share insights with his talk, ‘Winds of Change: Managing Turbulent Times.’

The event also features several plenary sessions and breakout sessions tailored to the needs of modern agricultural professionals alongside vendor tables and networking opportunities.

With space filling quickly, those interested in attending are encouraged to register soon to secure a spot. For more information or to register, visit cypresscountybusiness.ca.
