Conference Vision
"The Many Paths conference will allow for the development of networks, sharing of ideas and identifying needs in order to better develop the skills of the professionals working in farm succession planning to create better outcomes for farm families"
If you attend, you can expect to be challenged!
Presentations, discussion panels, break out groups and case studies will highlight the different approaches being taken and outcomes being achieved.
