Grey Bruce Agricultural Services in Markdale has announced that the format for the Grey Bruce Farmers' Week Conference will be online in January of 2022.
The Grey Bruce Farmers' Week Committee, with the support of their Premier Sponsor FCC, plan to deliver their conference virtually, for the second year in a row. GBFW has taken place for 55 years. It will continue in its 56th year, online. To co-ordinate this online delivery to its fullest potential, the committee decided to choose this path now, rather than rushing to Plan B closer to the conference dates in January. GBFW is recognized as one of the most well-organized conferences in Ontario. By pivoting now, coordinators can ensure that the quality is maintained.
The GBFW is available to anyone, from anywhere. Without the requirement for speakers to travel, the conference can draw from a broader pool of presenters – Sheep Day will feature a veterinarian from the UK. There will still be industry updates, producer mingle periods, speaker Q&As, producer panels, and of course, the top-notch educational content that is expected of GBFW.
"Our Virtual #GBFW21 was incredible, and we learned a lot! So, we will build upon the strengths of our first ever virtual conference, to tweak and create an even better Virtual #GBFW22. An example of one of our adaptations is that our first day, Jan 4, will be Check Your Tech Tuesday (CYTT). This will be an opportunity for everyone to get comfortable with the platform, make sure their technology works, check out the sponsors and supporters, and listen to some dynamite speakers! Anyone with a ticket for any of the days will get a complimentary ticket to CYTT", says Lori Smith Vice President and Office Co-ordinator at Grey Bruce Agricultural Services.

At South Grey News, we endeavour to bring you truthful and factual, up-to-date local community news in a quick and easy-to-digest format that’s free of political bias. We believe this service is more important today than ever before, as social media has given rise to misinformation, largely unchecked by big corporations who put profits ahead of their responsibilities.
South Grey News does not have the resources of a big corporation. We are a small, locally owned-and-operated organization. Research, analysis and physical attendance at public meetings and community events requires considerable effort. But contributions from readers and advertisers, however big or small, go a long way to helping us deliver positive, open and honest journalism for this community.
