ASTA & CSA Convene Seed Industry Professionals for Successful Meetings in San Diego

Last month, ASTA and the California Seed Association (CSA) joined forces to gather our members in San Diego for ASTA’s 65th Vegetable & Flower Seed Conference and CSA’s 86th Annual Convention. More than 1,000 seed industry professionals from across the globe convened on the West Coast for five days of global business networking, dynamic content sessions, and ASTA’s iconic Trading Room experience. Attendees spanned 38 countries, with over 42 percent of attendees serving leadership roles within their respective organizations. Headline speakers included Leonard Batti, Taylor Farms; Meghan Diaz, Sprouts Markets; Dr. Donna Lalli, USDA Biotechnology Regulatory Services; and Michael Mendelsohn, EPA Office of Pesticide Programs, Biopesticides and Pollution Prevention Division.  

Attendees should have received a post-event survey in their registered email last week. We kindly ask that you complete this survey and help us improve the future of ASTA meetings. To view photos from the event, click here.
