ECHO Agricultural Conference

Our 16th ECHO Agricultural Conference, held December 8-10, 2009 at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Fort Myers, was a great success.  Plans are already underway for the next conference Dec 7-9, 2010 (Onlline registration link and costs to be announced).  The conference accommodation and meeting rooms for both morning and evening sessions will be held at the Crowne Plaza Hotel (http://www.cpfortmyers.com/) in the Bell Tower district of Fort Myers. Afternoon workshops and demonstrations will be held at the 50-acre ECHO farm in North Fort Myers, which has one of the largest collections of tropical fruits and vegetables in the Unites States.

ECHO Agricultural Conferences provide opportunities for networking and enrichment for professionals working internationally with agriculture or related fields. The conference regularly attracts over 200 delegates representing more than 30 countries.  

Morning plenary sessions (photo: left) focus on practical ideas that have proven successful in communities around the world.                    

           

 

Afternoon workshop sessions (photos: at top; right) give a chance for hands-on demonstrations and small group interactions about topics of interest to particular groups.

Evening sessions are brief reports on a particular technique, plant, project, or approach.
