2021 AERGC VIRTUAL Annual Meeting

August 17 - 18, 2021, 12-4pm EDT

Greenhouses of the Future - Research, Teaching, and Tools of the Trade
In March, it was decided that we were unable to host an in person meeting for 2021.  Shortly after, a small sub-committee consisting of Tammy Brenner, Tom Bryan, Amanda Debevc, Paul Engevold, Mike Mucci, Alex Turkewitsch and Pam Warnke, was formed to plan a virtual version of the AERGC annual meeting.

We are looking forward to the upcoming annual meeting and have confirmed the following speakers:

Dr. Chris Meyer (University of Guelph)
Dr. Carole Saravitz (NC State)
Dr. Jeremie Fant (Chicago Botanic Garden)
Alex Turkewitsch (Greenhouse Engineering)
Suzanne Wainwright-Evans (Buglady Consulting)
Rob Eddy (CEA Consulting)
Dr. Praveen Saxena (University of Guelph)
Dr. Bethany Wolters (UTM)

2021 Virtual Meeting schedule

We'll also have several sponsor spots available over the two day meeting.  If you would like to give a sponsor spot talk, please contact Michael Mucci, AERGC Chair.

Even though we can't be together for the conference in the usual way, we hope that you will join us for two informative afternoons and connect with friends and colleagues in the usual AERGC tradition!

The meeting will be hosted on the Zoom platform.
