NEW! Opening General Session
Tuesday, December 5, 2:30 p.m. - 5:00 p.m.

The three days of sessions begin on Tuesday, December 5with a new Opening General Session that comprises reports on a variety of biotechnology, intellectual property rights, international and seed treatment issues. This newly-created session replaces the Soybean and Corn and Sorghum Division meeting as well as three other ASTA committee meetings, so that you can make the most of your time!

Joint General Session
Thursday, December 7, 8:30 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.

Thursday's Joint Soybean and Corn & Sorghum general session is one you will not want to miss. The session will consist of a panel discussion on one of the hottest topics affecting our industry - the growing interest and market implications of biofuels. This session, the largest at the convention, is sure to provide you with insights on the future of agriculture and how you and your business will be affected.

Staying in touch with your office has never been easier at the CSS conference since the advent of wireless Internet access throughout the Seed Expo exhibit hall and, new this year, a variety of Cyber Cafe stations throughout the hall to ensure lots of convenient access to the Internet whenever you need it.

Even though most suites at the Hyatt are already sold out, you can still reserve a meeting room for your last-minute private meeting by using ASTA's new Expo Meeting Suites inside the exhibit hall. Adjacent to all the conference refreshments, these meeting suites will be constructed at the back of the exhibit hall floor at a significant savings from the cost of a suite in the hotel. Near these suites will be meeting points "A," "B," or "C" in case you haven't met your client before. We're here to make it easy for you get your business done! Contact Jason Laney at the ASTA office to inquire about reserving a meeting suite for your company's use. These suites will be available for the duration of the Seed Expo hours on Wednesday and Thursday, December 6 and 7.

The Silent Auction makes a triumphant return this year after a very popular debut at last year's convention. Visit the Seed Expo hall or complete our online form to place your bids!
