The FARM FORUM EVENT 2018

FARM FORUM EVENT NOW PRESENTED BY GLACIER FARMMEDIA

For 20 years, the FARM FORUM EVENT has been a premier event for progressive farmers. It's where they learn about the latest innovations and research to improve their farming operations. I’m pleased to announce that the FARM FORUM EVENT is now a division of Glacier FarmMedia, Canada’s largest agriculture publishing company and owner of the nation's two largest outdoor farm shows – Ag in Motion near Saskatoon, SK and Canada’s Outdoor Farm Show in Woodstock, ON.

Our team looks forward to bringing you informative sessions, keynote speakers, industry panels and a trade show, plus ample social and networking opportunities. The FARM FORUM EVENT is where you will learn about the latest innovations and research in agronomy, plant nutrition, crop management, finance, markets, on-farm storage and equipment. Our dynamic speakers and expert panel discussions might even make you think differently about the way you farm.

The FARM FORUM EVENT is the must-attend learning conference in Canada. We look forward to welcoming you in Calgary at the TELUS Convention Centre on December 4th – 6th, 2018.

Sincerely,

Rob O’Connor

Show Director, Farm Forum Event

SEE WHAT'S IN STORE FOR THE 2018 FARM FORUM EVENT

	Get Pumped Up
The FARM FORUM EVENT kicks off Tuesday with Opening Night, a casual networking event. Get the learning started through energizing conversations over food and drinks. The trade show will be open and the FARM FORUM EVENT 20th Anniversary Grand Prize will be announced – those in attendance will receive extra ballots for the final draw on Thursday.

Learn and Grow

Each morning join us as we host a FutureCast Panel Discussion featuring industry thought leaders and moderated by well known ag journalists Mike Raine and Ed White, both from The Western Producer.

Wednesday - Advances in Agronomy - where is ag research taking us?

Thursday - Autonomous Machinery - from the mine to the field and beyond.

	Dig Deeper
Following the panels, Wednesday and Thursday are jam-packed with Breakout Sessions about agronomy, markets, equipment, on-farm storage, soil health & fertility and precision agriculture. Choose from more than 35 different sessions to gain insights on topics that are relevant to your farm operation.

	Think Differently
Each day an exhilarating Keynote Speaker will take the main stage at the FARM FORUM EVENT, presenting new ideas and fresh perspectives. For example, we'll hear from Jolene Brown, US farmer and public speaker on the unique challenges farmers face with consumers and how you can weather the storm.

	Celebrate Yield
Farmers have been competing for the last three years to grow 100 bushels of canola per acre. The Canola 100 Contest draws to a close, and the winning farmer will be announced at the FARM FORUM EVENT Banquet during the Canola 100 Agri-Prize Award Ceremony. The highest yielding participant wins a year-long use of a fleet of John Deere equipment.

	Win Big
End your experience in Calgary with the FARM FORUM EVENT 20th Anniversary Grand Prize Draw. You'll learn about the prize on Tuesday night. Stick around until the end of the event to make sure you are present to hear the winner and take home your prize.

Farm Wife, Author, Public Speaker

The FARM FORUM EVENT features some of the industry's top experts and notable public speakers. Let's take a look at the first of our lineup of speakers for 2018. Ladies first, of course.

It's a Jungle Out There! Blazing New Trails for Agriculture.

They’re lurking in the jungle… regulations, traceability, labor concerns, worker and food safety, competitive markets and more! It’s time we blaze a new trail because the pace, the people, the process and the products for agriculture have all changed. Have we? During this fun-filled, eye-opening presentation, we’ll discover today's top influencers on our customers. We'll learn the value of what we do is in the eye of the purchaser, not the producer. With lots of humor and real life stories, we’ll laugh while we learn the joys of blazing trails in agriculture’s “jungle!”
