CANVAS in the Field is a unique 2-day conference with an optional 1-day tour that brings together the regional expertise and experiences that will deliver immersive, hands-on, and tangible learning that emphasizes regional relevance. Located in Central Pennsylvania, which is known for its diverse agricultural production, including crops like corn, wheat, and apples. The event is built for hands-on, deep collaborative experiences that provide attendees the opportunity to ask the questions that directly relate to their needs and challenges.
- Walk the fields: Engage in the real experience of tours, demonstrations, and site visits that webinars can’t replicate.
- Collaboration and conversations: Connect face-to-face with the local researchers, producers, and extension staff who drive the regional industry and innovative solutions. Expand your network.
- Regionally-specific insights: Attend sessions curated specifically by local experts who understand the climate and economy and provide deep knowledge and value.
