Submit a Speaker or Session Topic!

We’re looking for workshop ideas, presentations, and panel discussions that speak to real experiences in the field and help move our farming community forward. If you’ve got knowledge to share, lessons learned, or ideas that spark conversation, we’d love to hear from you.


Some topic areas we’re especially interested in include:

  • Crops

  • Livestock

  • Farm business and finances

  • Getting started in farming

  • New tools and innovative practices

  • Cooperatives and farmer collaboration

  • The bigger picture
    (food systems, policy, and community impact)

  • Niche and specialty markets


If your idea falls outside these topics, we still encourage you to submit it. We’re always excited about fresh perspectives and practical know-how!

For examples, view our 2025 sessions here.
