The
Indiana Crop Improvement
Association (ICIA) and the
Indiana Seed Trade
Association (ISTA) announced recently plans to hold a joint
annual meeting in 2010.
Historically these meetings have been held separately with the
ICIA Annual Conference in February and the ISTA Corn Belt Seed
Conference in November. While both meetings maintained excellent
educational programs and strong attendance, it was decided
pooling resources for a joint conference would provide an
opportunity to raise the bar even higher with additional cutting
edge speakers, more commercial exhibitors and increased
attendance.
The new, joint meeting will be known as the Corn Belt Seed
Conference.
The 2010 conference is scheduled for February 10-12 at the
Sheraton Keystone Hotel in Indianapolis - the site of many prior
ICIA annual meetings. For the 2010 meeting, the hotel will
provide all suites for attendees instead of regular rooms, for
the same low $111.00 per night charge.
The new Corn Belt Seed Conference will have a similar "look and
feel" as past ICIA or ISTA conferences, with general sessions,
breakout meetings, social hours, exhibitors, planned meals, and
time for networking.
With ICIA & ISTA joining forces, be assured the new Corn Belt
Seed Conference will be a world class meeting. Mark your
calendar now and stay tuned for details as plans move forward. |
