Jun 26, 2025 | 9:43 AM

The Ag Connections Conference is returning to the Medicine Hat Exhibition & Stampede Grounds for a third year this fall.

Hosted by Cypress County and Palliser Economic Partnership, it will look to have continued growth after 337 attended in year one and 448 in year two.

Organizers say the event is Alberta’s largest professional development conference for primary producers, with attendees from southern Alberta and Saskatchewan.

“We’re proud to see Ag Connections grow into a must-attend event for our cattle and crop producers,” said Beth Cash, event planner and economic development officer at Cypress County.

“This conference is all about bringing people together – whether it’s to learn something new, share ideas, or just connect with others who understand what it is like to be in agriculture,” she added.
