The Agricultural Leadership Foundation of Hawaii (ALFH), the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation (HFBF),
the University of Hawaii College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) and State
of Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) join together to present Hawaii’s only statewide
conference for the agriculture industry. By hosting the 2008 Hawaii Agriculture Conference
we have once again come together to provide a forum in which everyone with an interest in
agriculture can meet, talk, and build relationships.
2008 Hawaii Agriculture Conference: Growing with Intention is scheduled for
September 4 & 5 at the Hawaii Convention Center. The All Ag Day is on Thursday Sept. 4, 2008. A
second day, Friday Sept. 5, 2008, is reserved for commodity groups and agricultural associations
to plan events for their specific needs. Both days will be organized and promoted together. 2008
Hawaii Agriculture Conference will feature Keynote Speakers, Seminars and Workshops, a 2-day
Tradeshow and Poster Exhibit, a Growing the Next Generation: a Partnership with Future
Farmers of America, and, of course, the wonderful Hawaii Food and Agriculture Products
Luncheon.
Our goal is to bring industry together for capacity building, to develop opportunities to be
more successful in business, and to create an environment where people can exchange ideas. This
event will bring together both national and local industry innovators and is especially designed
for leaders with a vision for agriculture, innovators, entrepreneurs, farmers, ranchers,
contractors, architects, nurserymen, their employees, golf course superintendents, and the
professionals supporting the industry in universities, state and county governments, and
non-profit organizations. |
