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:above) focus on practical ideas that have proven successful in communities around the world. These talkes are no more than 45 minutes in length. Afternoon workshop sessions (photo: right) are 60 minutes in length, and 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 and are 25 minutes long. This year we will also feature several 60-minute discussion topics, giving opportunity for group interaction and participation. This is a networking conference which means that the Delegates are the most important resources. Practical talks by Delegates are the most useful. If you are already registered and are willing to participate in one or more of these ways, please click here or on the 'Presenter Form' link on the information page of the registration form.
