Thursday January 6th
20222022 ONTARIO Agricultural CONFERENCE Sponsorship Opportunities Building Resilience is the theme and goal of this year’s Ontario Agricultural Conference (OAgC). Over these past months, COVID has had a huge impact on us personally and continues to pose a challenge to the Ontario agricultural sector. Once again, the 2022 conference organizers strive to present the ag industry with an incredible world class speaker line up for registrants to learn new skills, provide the tools & resources to manage and build resiliency to meet present and future challenges! The 2021 Ontario Agricultural Conference was a new virtual adventure with many challenges but with your support, it was a huge success! The greatest task was to create a conference program filled with pertinent information delivered on an easy-to-use virtual platform. Nearly 1600 people registered for the conference with over 83% participating on the live conference days. Registration continued to grow after the conference and the organizers continued educating registrants with the very successful TEC Talk Tuesdays. On average, over 200 registrants attended the TEC Talk Tuesday sessions. Participants found the OAgC platform easy to navigate and the program filled with an amazing amount of information that was well presented. Once again, members of the Southwest Agricultural Conference (SWAC), Golden Horseshoe and Heartland Soil & Crop Improvement Associations and Eastern Ontario Crop Conference (EOCC) are working together to present a second virtual ONTARIO Agricultural CONFERENCE on January 5th & 6th, 2022. This unique Ontario based conference will once again be targeting agricultural professionals by showcasing over 35 agricultural related sessions and providing a platform to showcase many innovative and key Ontario agricultural businesses & stakeholders. Access to the conference web portal including sponsor pages and all sessions will be available until March 31, 2022. This gives registrants lots of time to view all the information the conference has to offer at their own pace. The organizers will once again offer registrants the opportunity to bring their questions to the LIVE days, during the conference social and TEC Talk Tuesdays. The 8 TEC Talk Tuesdays will provide conference attendees a chance to ask questions and further build on their learnings from the sessions but just as importantly another means to build conference exposure and promotion of OAgC sponsors. We would like to invite your company to partner and support the OAgC as a sponsor. Sponsorship packages are designed to give companies flexibility, the exposure they need to meet their marketing goals and provide opportunities to engage with conference attendees during and post conference. The virtual platform allows us to reach a large audience across Ontario and beyond expanding the sponsorship recognition and marketing opportunities for your business. Last year’s conference audience included many viewers from each Canadian province and several viewers from the USA and overseas. We are offering several sponsorship packages, like last year with some exciting new opportunities including expanding into the successful TEC Talk Tuesdays. We are excited to have you participate and show support to this valuable conference as well as showcase your business to not only clients but the broader agricultural sector. Please review the update sponsorship package descriptions and deadlines below! Your support is vital to the success and the uniqueness of this conference. We appreciate all the support in 2021 and will be giving each company the opportunity to continue supporting the conference at the same level as last year. Please do not hesitate to contact us to reserve your spot as well as if you have questions or want to discuss other unique sponsorship opportunities! We are looking forward to working with everyone on our second OAgC virtual adventure!! Sincerely Albert Tenuta Loree Elgie albert.tenuta@ontario.ca lelgie@uoguelph.ca 519.360.8307 519.674.1500 x63273
