The Agricultural Leadership Foundation of Hawaii (ALFH) is pleased to
announce that Hawaii’s premier agriculture conference, Hawaii
Agriculture Conference 2012 – Leveraging Partnerships for Profit,
will take place on September 20 – 21, 2012, at the Hawaii Convention
Center in Honolulu. The theme for this conference, Leveraging
Partnerships for Profit, was inspired by the United Nations Year of
the Cooperative, which aims to recognize the growing awareness that
working together in our local communities makes good business sense.
Please be our partner as we bring this important program to our
agricultural community.
The ALFH board members would like to offer your company sponsorship
opportunities for this year’s two-day conference event. Sponsors and their
guests will enjoy inspiring keynote speakers, educational sessions and
workshops, a two-day trade show, a brief awards presentation and a
wonderful all Hawaii products luncheon. The conference programming will
not only inspire collaboration but also will share and teach tangible
examples and tools for community and business partnerships. The planning
committee has identified successful local examples of how these models
work and are identifying areas where building capacity will bring everyone
closer to a collective vision - a healthy and thriving agricultural
sector.
Keynote speakers will open minds to new ways of thinking as we Leverage
Partnerships for Profit. Our confirmed guest speakers, including Lauren
Anderson the Innovation Director of Collaborative Lab, Larry Yee
Co-Founder of Food Commons and Sarah Stokes Alexander the Director of
Environment Practice at The Keystone Center will share their knowledge on
topics ranging from captivating global trends to food chain collaborations
to fields in active production.
We formally invite your company to join us as a sponsor of the
conference. Please take a look at the sponsor levels and benefits listed
on the Sponsorship Levels and Benefits page enclosed. We request a
completed pledge form ASAP but by August 1, 2012 and full payment by
