InfoAg 2009

Dear InfoAg Participants:

We would like to thank you for helping make InfoAg 2009 a huge success. The over 650 participants shared in presentations on a wide range of topics on technology applications and data management and interpretation. As with previous InfoAg Conferences, the networking among participants was again a highlight of the experience. New relationships formed at InfoAg will lead to greater benefits and opportunities for those involved. Ideas exchanged in the hallways and the exhibit hall will form the basis for the new deliverables at the next conference. Those who took advantage of the Pre-Conference Tour on Monday picked up some additional first-hand knowledge and interactions.

Looking ahead, please consider participating in the 10th International Conference on Precision Agriculture (ICPA) in Denver, CO, July 18-21, 2010. ICPA has a stronger research focus, but still has a good component of applied technology through the A to Z sessions. Volunteer presentations and poster presentations offer a somewhat different format from InfoAg, and the representation of over 40 countries expands the networking opportunities. (See www.icpaonline.org for details and registration.)

And plan to come back to Springfield for InfoAg 2011, planned for July 2011. Please send us any comments or suggestions that will help us make these next two events even more beneficial to those who participate.

Sincerely yours,

Dr. Harold Reetz, Jr.
