Next spring’s Affiliate Training & Conference is set for March 7 and 8 in West Des Moines, Iowa!
More info is to come, of course, but here are a few details to whet your appetite:
Affiliates are required to attend two training events during the term their first affiliate agreement, and every other year thereafter. Attending either or both days of this event will satisfy the requirement.
Friday, March 7 is “Basic Training” that most of you attended when you became an affiliate. It is 100% classroom, and it’s free to attend for any affiliate.
Saturday, March 8 is the Annual Conference which includes case study presentations by fellow affiliates, company news, networking, and presentations by a guest speaker. This year’s speaker is Jerod Epp, a previous guest on the Farm Dog podcast and a large scale targeted grazier from central Saskatchewan, Canada. There will be a registration fee for the conference, but your entire team can attend under one registration.
We’d love for you to put the training and conference on your calendar, and plan to join us in March. Also, we’re on the lookout for affiliates who completed interesting projects in 2024 that they would like to present to their goat grazing colleagues. If you have one in mind, let Aaron know at Aaron@GoatsOnTheGo.com. Presenting affiliates get their registration fee waived!
