The 2026 Farmer Veteran Stakeholders Conference is coming to Williamsburg, Virginia, October 25-27 and our Breakout Session Sponsorship is still open for organizations ready to lead, not just show up. Owning a session gets you beyond the exhibit hall.

Sponsor one of five breakout session tracks and become the defining partner of that educational experience. Choose one of five exciting track themes: Practical Technology for Real Farms. Regenerative Agriculture & Land Stewardship. Farm Business Viability & Market Growth. Mental Health, Community, and the Next Generation. Policy, Partnership, and the 2026 Landscape Secure your spot here: conference.farmvetco.org For questions, please reach out to conference@farmvetco.org.
