Event Description

Welcome to the first VIRTUAL Ag & Food HR Roundtable from AgCareers.com. The Ag & Food HR Roundtable is a one-of-a-kind event for human resource professionals, university/college career services and faculty, and association representatives within agriculture and food. This is the 18th year AgCareers.com has held the Ag & Food Roundtable.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we are preparing for our very first virtual Roundtable event with topics around agricultural recruitment and retention in a pandemic and post-pandemic world.

While we can’t be together in-person, AgCareers.com plans to bring some normalcy to the situation by providing quality educational content plus networking and connection opportunities.

We will be offering a virtual day-long live program, but also a series of on-demand content that can be accessed at anytime as well as scheduled Table Topic networking sessions the following day. Your registration to the event gets you access to all of these components as well as other supporting resources before and after the event!

This program will be submitted for recertification credits through SHRM and HRCI.

Mark your calendars for Wednesday, August 5 and plan to join us for a look into what the new normal will look like for student and professional recruitment and workforce management in the agriculture and food industry.

*Plan ahead and SAVE! We hope to see you all in person at the 2021 AgCareers.com Ag & Food HR Roundtable, August 3 – 5, 2021 in Omaha, NE. Special registration offer included -- get this year's virtual event for just $75.
