Upcoming Online Events

[Klaus Brugger]

Especially since 2020, numerous plant-breeding-related events have been held online, many of them free of charge. Workshops, presentations, conferences, even field days.
I think it would be cool to have a thread were we share information about upcoming online events.
I'll start.

Breeding Carrots for Production, Resilience, Flavor, and Fun in Organic Systems
https://seedalliance.org/events/carrot-breeding-webinar-eorganic/

What is the link for this one please?

[William Schlegel]

There is no link Jack said he would email again later with the details. I don't know for sure how to get on Jack's email list but maybe this quarterly newsletter sign up?

Or:

to just ask about getting on that list.

I think I am on the email list maybe because of the fava bean I successfully pledged?

Thank you very much for sharing! It would be cool if these events were promoted more widely.


Here's another exciting event:

June 6, 2022 – June 8, 2022
CBN x OSA California Variety Showcase
https://seedalliance.org/events/california-variety-showcase/
Free online event with talks about celtuce, dry beans, tomatoes, onions, squash, miner's lettuce, and more.

I just jumped on the list (I had to lie about my address; it only accepts US ZIP codes) and hopefully will get updates from here on out; in the meantime are there any links to sign up for the OSSI circubit and Deppe webinars, or to attend them?

eorganic's youtube channel seems to have a trickle of interesting things on it!

I missed this recent webinar from Bauta/Seed Change, about growing heritage grains.  Luckily they posted it to YouTube.
