Rob O’Connor from Ag in Motion spoke on behalf of Glacier FarmMedia, and shared an exciting highlight reel from last year’s show.

Slav Waplak from Hi Tech Installations spoke about his organization’s host of services. Hi Tech marks their 20th anniversary this year, a milestone they celebrated with the delegates of the CAAR Conference.

Bruce Hinkeldey represented Ranco Fertiservice Inc., an agriculture equipment supplier and partner in Platinum Sponsorship with Hi Tech Installations.

Air Canada’s Gwen Clavelle spoke about the airline’s proud Canadian roots, and their focus on the agri-retail sector as a key audience for business travel.

Amanda Giamberardino of Fertilizer Canada outlined the 4R Nutrient Stewardship program, a program that helps agri-retailers and agronomists improve their customers’ yields, expenditures and commitment to environmental stewardship.

Not present was Platinum Sponsor Bayer CropScience, specialized crop inputs manufacturer and another key supporter of the week’s events.

“The CAAR Conference wouldn’t be possible without the support of our sponsors,” said Delaney Ross Burtnack, CAAR president and CEO. “Their generosity year over year allows us to bring valuable programming, networking opportunities and training to our attendees that we could not offer without them.”
