AmericanHort’s DIG Conference Scheduled for November

AmericanHort has announced the return of the DIG Conference: Disease, Insects, and Growth Regulators. It will take place online Nov. 3-5, 2020.

Attendees will experience in-depth education on disease, insect, and growth regulator management, connect with other industry professionals and engage in peer-to-peer activities.

At the DIG Conference, attendees will take their integrated pest management (IPM) and plant growth regulator (PGR) strategies to the next level.

The conference boasts four tracks of education on topics such as disease, insect and pest management, biocontrols, growth regulator best practices, new technology, sanitation, IPM strategies and more in both on-demand and live education sessions.

AmericanHort will also present new education on pest and disease identification and management specifically for hemp growers.

On the virtual platform, attendees will be able to interact with both the DIG Conference’s world-class speakers and other green industry professionals.

“One key to a great grower-focused conference such as DIG is a proper balance of speakers for educational sessions,” said Holly Scoggins, director of educational programming at AmericanHort. “University researchers and extension specialists, technical services specialists, independent consultants, and experienced growers will all offer valuable perspectives on the topics at hand.”

The DIG Conference will provide many opportunities to connect with other industry professionals and engage in peer-to-peer activities including coffee chats, DIG Deeper panel discussions and industry interaction roundtables.  Attendees can even test their DIG knowledge at the evening Jeopardy!-inspired social event.
