Seeking Vendors for 2025 Upper Midwest Urban & Rural Agriculture Innovation (UMURAI) Conference
The 2025 Upper Midwest Urban & Rural Agriculture Innovation Conference (UMURAI) will be here before you know it! The conference dates have been set for Feb. 6-7, 2025 at Cedar Shore Resort & Conference Center in Oacoma, S.D.!
This conference is hosted by the South Dakota Specialty Association (SDSPA) in partnership with Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) to provide curated educational sessions on innovative agricultural practices for enthusiasts, producers, and farmers.
There will be 4 tracks of sessions, with one day dedicated to Organic Practices, and three additional tracks focused on Business Development, Urban Agriculture, and Advanced Practices for Producers.
This year, we are looking to showcase as many local producers and producer organizations as possible through offering a wide variety of vendor booths. These booths allow you to represent and advertise your business, and also facilitate connections and networking across a 5 state region (ND, SD, MN, WY, NE) with like-minded producers. With a limited number of booths available we want to offer this opportunity to you as early as possible.
The price on each booth spot is $95, and comes with 1 free registration for both days of the conference (a value of $125 with early bird pricing), as well as advertising during the event and social media marketing.
We look forward to hearing about your interest and potential participation.
