Never gave it any thought that it is the time of year for this event.  Until you posted.  I have been to the conference once, or maybe twice, years and years ago... Anyway, I decided to look it up, and I see it is going on now.  Website says 2000 attendees.....  How many are growers vs industry people? Do you have a guess?   Looking at the program, I do see the names of a couple of people that I know.  Looks like it should be a good event.
