Farmer Cooperatives Conference

Building off of our 2020 online format, the conference will allow participants to interact with speakers and fellow attendees through chat, interactive Q&A sessions, and facilitated discussion groups. The flexibility of the online format also allows the conference to be more reflective of crucial topics that emerge for the field in the months and weeks before the online meeting.
