New Event Will Dig Into the Details of Pest and Plant Growth Management
September 18, 2020 
Following up on Cultivate’20 Virtual, AmericanHort’s next big event is the DIG Conference: Disease, Insects, and Growth Regulators. The online conference will take place Nov. 3-5, 2020, and attendees will experience in-depth education on disease, insect, and plant growth regulator (PGR) 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 PGR strategies to the next level. The conference offers four tracks of education on topics such as disease, insect, and pest management, biocontrols, PGR best practices, new technology, sanitation, IPM strategies, and more, in both on-demand and live education sessions. In addition, AmericanHort will provide 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 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,” says 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. Coffee chats, DIG Deeper panel discussions, and industry interaction roundtables allow participants to connect with industry peers and find new ideas and solutions for grower challenges. Attendees can even test their DIG knowledge at an evening Jeopardy!-inspired social event.
“We invite you to join us at the DIG Conference,” says Ken Fisher, President and CEO of AmericanHort. “From the unrivaled line up of education, to the many different opportunities for networking and commerce, the DIG Conference will be a strong resource for green industry growers. You’ll walk away with actionable solutions for the challenges facing your operation.”
