We are excited to be partnering with our counterparts in Eastern NY, the CCE Eastern NY Commercial Horticulture Program (CCE-ENYCHP) for this 3-day virtual conference!  Mike Basedow is the specialist who works with commercial tree fruit growers in the Champlain Valley, while Dan Donahue works with the stakeholders in the Hudson Valley. They've been planning this virtual conference along with myself, Mario, Janet, Mark, and our technicians and admin staff for a few months. While we will all miss the networking and sharing of meals with old friends, we are thankful that we have the technology to conduct what looks to be a strong educational program! If you haven't already, please Mark Your Calendars for Feb 2-4.

We have 12 sessions over the 3 full days of the conference (2 morning & afternoon sessions per day). Time will be built in for both AM/PM breaks (15-30 minutes each, and ~1 hr for lunch). 

With no restrictions due to speakers not having to travel to our virtual conference, we've secured a lot of knowledgeable, dynamic speakers from out of state. We have faculty and staff presenting from Michigan State, Oregon State, Penn State, and Washington State, along with the "usual suspects" from Cornell, along with some speakers from CU that we've never had before.  In addition, we have 2 sessions with grower panels that represent all major fruit-growing regions of NY, along with Ontario.

Please check our landing page at: http://blogs.cornell.edu/nystreefruitconference/  There you'll find all the detailed information, including full session descriptions, registration, sponsorship, and what you need to know to receive DEC credits.  

Registration will be $85 per person for enrollees of either CCE-LOF or CCE-ENYCHP, $95 for non enrollees. This will be for access to all 3 conference days. We are not offering a price for 1-2 days.
