and the Small Business Administration. Glenn Luedke, NAICC Legislative Assistant will also give an update on NAICC’s governmental activities during the joint breakfast on Saturday morning.

Back by popular demand, are the roundtable discussions for consultants on Thursday morning, as well as roundtables for all three tracks held Saturday morning after the joint breakfast. Highlighting the joint breakfast session is Fernando Martins of Brazil who will give us insight into consulting and research in his country. Martins is also joining the consultants for discussion on resistance management during the Thursday roundtable. His participation at the meeting is sponsored by the Global Alliance of Independent Ag Consultants and NAICC’s Foundation.

The popular “Networking” block of time has been set aside for researchers from 12:00 noon – 3:30 p.m., on Thursday, January 28. Researchers can choose to attend the Emerging & Evolving Technology Session or set up their own appointments with colleagues, sponsors, etc. to discuss plans for the 2016 crop season. The goal is to cut down on the meetings that take place throughout the hotel during the program sessions. Please plan to meet during this scheduled time or after the NAICC scheduled events. Researchers without meetings in this block are encouraged to attend the Emerging & Evolving Technology Session.

Be sure to review the Program of Events listing educational sessions during the week. Remember to load the Annual Meeting app to help plan your schedule. Go to www.eventmobi.com/NAICC16 or scan the QR code on this page.

The Annual Meeting Coordination Committee members -- under the guidance of Dan Moser, Matt Eich, Matt Winslow, Kathy Richards and Angela Dawson -- have developed an outstanding program that features timely topics for crop and research consultants and quality assurance professionals.

During the Plenary Session, the 2016 Keynote Address will be given by Dr. Jay Lehr. An Economist and Futurist, Dr. Lehr makes people feel good about American Agriculture. He combines 5 decades of expertise and experience in Agricultural Economics, Agronomy, Environmental Science and Business Administration with the most contagious enthusiasm for the future of the American Farm and Ranch. Jay Lehr is Science Director of the Heartland Institute, a libertarian think tank supported by contributions by individuals, foundations, and corporations. He is also Senior Scientist with Environmental Education Enterprises, Inc. in Ostrander, Ohio.

This year, all three tracks of the Annual Meeting program offer a regulatory update session.
