ASGA Annual Meeting

2012 ASGA ANNUAL MEETING

Attendance at the 2012 ASGA Annual Meeting, February 9-11 in Orlando, should be on the calendars of all sugarbeet growers and industry suppliers. The program topics will be current and insightful, covering biotechnology, policy and politics, the administration of the sugar program, the 2012 Farm Bill, the global and North American sugar markets, and the industry's successes in achieving greater efficiencies and competitiveness. Attendees will want to explore and discuss these issues with our lineup of knowledgeable experts.

About 350 people traditionally attend this meeting to network and hear about the most significant and timely issues that confront and challenge the industry. In addition to a golf tournament and the compelling program content, the meeting schedule allows free time every afternoon to enjoy the many activities that Disney and other attractions have to offer. Preliminary program and registration materials are available below and will be updated as the program develops.
