The Southwest Agricultural Conference's mission is to provide Ontario agricultural stakeholders with world-class agronomic production information.
The program team is committed to keeping the Ontario agricultural community updated with current and timely information, thanks to our dynamic group of conference speakers. We are once again excited to offer a hybrid program which includes both VIRTUAL and IN-PERSON registration options, providing registrants with over 50 ON DEMAND sessions and 27 concurrent IN-PERSON sessions on January 7 & 8, 2025.
Conference sessions are 50 minutes in length. When presenting jointly with other speakers, please remember that the time allotment is for the total presentation. Please note - many of our IN-PERSON sessions will be LIVESTREAMED and/or recorded. All recorded sessions will be available online until March 31, 2025. ON DEMAND viewers will be able to ask questions via email during this time period. These questions will be forwarded to the appropriate speakers along with the contact info of the participant so that a response can be given.
In early November, all SWAC speakers will be emailed an information package. Please review the important information in this package as you prepare for your upcoming presentations!
