Trends and Issues in Extension

Two conferences of interest to Extension professionals are coming up this fall. The first is the 2006 Outreach Conference in Columbus, Ohio on October 8-10. See the conference site for more information. This is definitely a broader university outreach conference, but will still have information for Extension professionals.

The second is definitely an Extension conference. The National ESP conference is in Annapolis, Maryland from November 14-17, 2006. Here is the conference site.

I have attended and enjoyed both conferences in the past. I’ll be attending both this year and making presentations on using technology for outreach and to connect distributed workforces.
