The Spring Conference supports, inspires, and educates people to farm, garden, and live organically by providing affordable, practical, and hands-on education.
March 6-8, 2026
About the process:
Planning for the Spring Conference starts earlier than many may realize. And every year, we receive good ideas, but we are unable to use them late in the process because our schedule has already been finalized.
Timeline:
April - June: Participant feedback reviewed, keynote and special guest speakers recruited
July - Track Leaders Recruited
August - October: Curriculum Development/Class Selection
After October: Backup speakers/replacement speakers recruited
How OGS Prepares for Spring Conference
Emerging Organic Educator Award Nomination
Each year at the OGS Spring Conference, we recognize local food system leaders for their dedication, civic commitment, and responsibility with regards to organic education.
The Emerging Organic Educator Award recognizes those folks who have been working and sharing their experience with others for 10 years or fewer in the field, but are already making a deep impact.
Thank you to our 2025 Sponsors!
