The conference kicks off with a preconference reception at the University of Wisconsin’s Allen Centennial Garden. The garden is a living laboratory and public botanical garden for UW-Madison students and surrounding communities. The garden’s Executive Director Ben Futa will welcome attendees to the garden while docents will be on standby to answer questions.
EdCon officially opens with the annual meeting with updates from the Board of Directors and committee meetings.
Of course, EdCon wouldn’t be complete without national speakers and award-winning authors covering a range of topics from spices and cheese and tea pairings to at risk medicinal plants. Download a list of speakers.
In Madison you’ll find more than 200 miles of walking trails, free weekly concerts, a funky restaurant scene, interesting cultural events, and vibrant farmers’ market. The youthfulness of this city is fueled by the University of Wisconsin-Madison which occupies 933 acres along Lake Mendota and supports multiple greenhouses in addition to the Allen Centennial Garden, and a nearby 1,200-acre arboretum.
