Potato producers in the Pacific Northwest should once again mark their calendars for the upcoming 2014 Washington-Oregon Potato Conference to be held at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick, Washington.
"This will be the fifth year that both states have worked together on our jointly held conference. It has been a positive relationship that has helped to create a very worthwhile event for all involved," said Ryan Holterhoff, director of marketing and industry affairs for the Washington State Potato Commission.
The convention will be held Jan. 28-30. "We would anticipate around 1,700 or so people participating in the conference over the course of the three-days," Holterhoff stated.
According to Holterhoff, the conference "provides many meaningful aspects for those that attend. There is great networking value and opportunities for attendees to collaborate and learn what is new for the 2014 season. Some of the top industry experts in their respective fields will share their insights during the general session portion of the conference in one of the over 30 presentations."
