Idaho Potato Conference goes virtual in 2021!

Set your calendars to attend the 53rd annual Idaho Potato Conference Jan. 19-21, 2021. Given the unusual times of a global pandemic, the Idaho Potato Conference shifted from the annual in-person conference held in Pocatello to three days of free virtual presentations. The 20-minute prerecorded presentations with an additional five minutes of live Q and A will be given throughout the morning of each day from 8 a.m. to noon (Mountain Time). In addition, five-minute updates by leading potato industry companies will be included each day.

• Spanish Language Session will also be offered virtually for 2021. This session will be offered from 1-3 p.m. on Jan. 19. Topics in Spanish will include reducing bruise, grading potatoes, common storage disease and much more. There will be short videos and live discussions led by University of Idaho Extension educators Joseph Sagers and Jason Thomas.
• Idaho Pesticide License Recertification credits (3) will be available on Jan. 20. Attendees are required by ISDA to pass a short online quiz to receive credits.
• Registration is free, but you must register in advance — including the Spanish language session. Additional details regarding the agenda, topics and registration will be updated to the website.
