Who can "represent our co-op" at the Tilth Producers 2009 Conference in Yakima?

Organic and Sustainable: the 2009 Tilth Producers Conference

Sat-Sun Nov 14-15 at the Yakima Valley Convention Center

Is anybody going? It would be great to have someone there who can talk about the co-op, gather information, network and report back.

The $140 registration is a little steep for me personally; not sure what to do about that. I really want to go and might try to work something out...

There are some interesting items on the agenda, and more importantly I bet there will be some very interesting people in attendance!

A couple sessions of interest (to me, anyway):

B5 What do Produce Retailers Want?

-C5 Merchandising and Marketing for Farmers Markets and Farm Stands

D5 Innovative Marketing Cooperatives (presented by Eric Bowman of the Northwest Co-op Development Center)
