iowa specialty producers conference

The Iowa Wine Growers Association has held the annual association membership meeting in conjunction with an annual educational conference since 2001 with many changes over the years, though one thing has remained the same - dedication to the growth and sustainability of the grape and wine industry here in Iowa. In 2020, IWGA partnered with the Iowa Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association (IFVGA) to host the Iowa Specialty Producers Conference. The event was a huge success and is a continued effort for the associations each year. The ISPC is made possible in part through grant funding from the Iowa Department of Agriculture and Land Stewardship (IDALS).

The conference features keynote speaker and multiple breakout session tracks focusing on viticulture, enology, fruits, vegetables, other specialty crops and business/marketing.
