Who Attends?
The main focus of the ASTA Farm and Lawn Seed Conference/Western Seed Association’s Annual Meeting is networking. The vast majority of its approximately 600 attendees come for personal appointments with other seed industry professionals, typically conducted right in the ballroom foyer area where exhibitors will be located. This wildly popular “Trading Area” is next to the Century Ballroom where ASTA programming also take place. The convention schedule includes meetings of ASTA’s Invasive Species Working Group, the Environmental and Conservation Seed Committee, and the Farm and Lawn Seed Divisions, offering timely and relevant speakers offering the latest in seed industry information and education. Thus, this event attracts representatives from multiple facets of the seed industry, particularly those focused on lawn and turf seed and other farm seed commodities. Top executives from these companies attend from across the United States, Canada and abroad.
