Agenda
In order to continue to build allies and relationships to further CPDA’s purpose of advocacy, we have coordinated with CropLife America (CLA) again to hold our annual meetings at the same time and place. This joint meeting offers a wide range of shared sessions designed to bring our communities together.
In addition, there are a few exclusive sessions tailored to the unique needs of CLA and CPDA members. These are clearly marked in the schedule. CPDA & CLA members will conclude each day with a joint reception.
Blue type indicates joint sessions.
Agenda subject to change.
