A Collaborative Agenda Built for the Organic Community
Creating the Organic Week agenda is a true team effort. Each year, the Organic Trade Association works with staff, board members, members, and partners across the organic sector to develop a program that reflects the issues, opportunities, and conversations most important to our industry.
This year, the response was stronger than ever, with more than 90 session proposals submitted by leaders from across the organic community. The result is an agenda designed to educate, inspire, and connect attendees around the shared theme, Organic Starts With You.
Agenda Highlights
This year's program features:
- A legislative keynote with Congresswoman Chellie Pingree
- A fireside chat with current and former Whole Foods Market leadership
- CEO, farmer, scientist, and media roundtable discussions
- Sessions exploring domestic supply chains, sustainability, impact reporting, financing, retail trends, consumer research, and the future of organic
- OTA's Annual Member Meeting
- The Organic Leadership Awards Celebration
- Advocacy Day on Capitol Hill
- Networking opportunities with leaders from every part of the organic value chain
Whether you're a producer, processor, retailer, brand, certifier, researcher, policymaker, or service provider, Organic Week offers valuable opportunities to learn, collaborate, and help shape what's next for organic.
