Join your fellow agricultural PR professionals for amazing educational programming and tours in Sacramento, June 20-22, 2017.

The program kicks off on Wednesday, June 21 with a panel from the Pacific Legal Foundation, "When Regulations Collide with Reality." You don't want to miss panelist John Duarte, a PLF client who is facing jail time and $8 million in fines from the EPA for Water of the U.S. violations for plowing his field, who will share his personal story.

Next on the program is "The Complex Issue of Immigration and Labor," where Bryan Little of Farm Employers Labor Service (FELS) will sit on a panel including a farmer who will share his concerns and challenges of labor issues, along with a professional public relations practitioner who handles immigration issues.

The afternoon will feature professional development for the PR practitioner, led by John Armato, senior partner and creative strategist at FleishmanHillard in Sacramento. John will lead two sessions, "Anatomy of a Plan" and "Think Inside the Box."
