The Idaho Convention Committee is working hard to bring you excellent speakers and program elements to this event, including Keynote Speaker Damian Mason! Damian Mason is an Agriculturist. His presentation is a fast-paced mix of Ag economist, futurist, talk show host, and comedian. Damian addresses the "F" words of Agriculture: farming, food, fights, fair trade, foodies, feelings, food police, finance, and the future of our industry. The content is constantly evolving along with the Ag industry and news of today. 

Plan to stay a few extra days to enjoy California Wine Country!
