For our planning purposes, we ask that you sign up for particular sessions when you register. Sessions may fill up quickly, so please register early. To update your itinerary before the Expo, please see the instructions on the registration page.

Where possible, we've scheduled the sessions according to tracks by commodity.  These tracks are color-coded on the schedule so you can quickly browse for commodity-specific courses.  The sessions are open to all, so feel free to attend sessions in other areas of interest too. Please note that we are offering classes on some of the more popular topics - such as labeling - twice so that you won't miss out if another session you plan to attend conflicts with the time.
