November 2nd & 3rd 2012
Conexus Arts Centre - Regina |
 |
We are pleased to offer you Sponsorship and Trade Show Booth opportunities for the Fifth Biennial Organic Connections Conference and Trade Show at a new location, the Conexus Arts Centre in Regina. Don’t miss this opportunity to connect with the vibrant and growing organic community at Western Canada’s largest organic trade show and conference.
The theme for 2012 is “A Vision for the Future”. We are entering a new era in agriculture with changing market conditions, a national regulation firmly entrenched, long time producers thinking about retirement, and new, energetic people wondering where to start. Our conference program is designed specifically to help families prepare and plan for a productive future on the farm. There will be a good mix of practical agronomic and marketing information, some tantalizing new and different strategies and ideas, and a few things thrown in just for fun. If you are a veteran Organic Connections participant then you will remember that we take having fun and celebrating the contributions made by our farm families very seriously!
Past support and involvement has helped to build our reputation for excellence. We can now offer you more opportunities than ever to reach your target audience:
National Organic Week – Following the success of our 2011 “Savoury Saturday” event we will host another celebration this September. Watch our website for details. Let us know if you would like to be included in this event, or if you have an idea we can work with you on.
Public Presentation – Dr. Donald Huber, will bring a message of understanding about the impacts of glysophate and GMO’s on our food to consumers at the University of Regina on November 1st, the evening before our conference. If you are interested in connecting with consumers as well as producers you won’t want to miss it.
Organic Youth Program – Approximately 100 students will wrap up a 7 week study on organic production and sustainability at a special program on November 2 at the Science Centre. On Saturday the 3rd we’ll do it all again for conference attending youth. The organic kids program was a huge hit at the last conference; we know families will love this new expanded edition!
Conference Program – Both days are packed with outstanding speakers, presentations and key topics of interest to the organic family. Three concurrent streams will focus on agronomic and market information, healthy, happy lifestyles and visioning for the future.
Banquet and Awards – Friday night it’s time to relax, re-connect with old friends and meet new ones as we celebrate our successes and look to the future. Meet the recipients of the 2012 Organic Hero awards and enjoy some terrific organic food and entertainment.
Mini Taste of Organic – Saturday afternoon we’ll highlight some special taste experiences. If selling direct to consumers is of interest to you then you definitely will want to be a part of this!
Trade Show – Space constraints in our new venue mean we expect this to sell out fast! Contact us now to secure your spot. We will work hard to make sure your needs are met.
Sponsors - as soon as we receive your contribution we will begin recognizing and promoting your business. The earlier you commit the more exposure you will receive for your dollars.
