The OTA Calendar is full of events that are either organized or attended by OTA. We are pleased to organize and support dozens of events that advance organic agriculture and trade throughout the year. Some of these are signature OTA events hosted for members, while others are regional, national, or international conferences where OTA staff are featured keynotes and panelists. Whether we’re bringing the latest news and trends about the organic industry to diverse audiences, sponsoring business networking gatherings, or hosting listening sessions to gather feedback from the sector, you can count on OTA to be part of the action.

    OPS will have the Strengthening Organic Enforcement (SOE) session discussing the rule that went into effect on March 20 of this year, and the impact businesses have until March 19, 2024, to comply with its requirements. In this SOE session, OPS attendees will hear from leaders from across the organic produce supply chain about how their operations and how they are getting ready to address the most impactful changes before the 2024 implementation. The session will be moderated by Gwendolyn Wyard, Organic Trade Association’s VP of Regulatory Affairs. The SOE rule is the biggest update to USDA organic regulations since they were first published in 2000, and its aim is to bolster organic integrity and consumer confidence in the USDA. Be sure to attend this session for insight from organic leaders!
