What our ONE Conference attendees are saying...

As a virtual experience, it was more available with less intrusion into my other business. Networking in person is valuable, but Alltech did an excellent job of facilitating virtual networking on this platform. The speakers were inspiring and informative — very positive. This is a refreshing contrast to so much negative in these strange times. Thanks for including us (my teens are home, so I had them join me to hear Cady Coleman).

It was a great, different experience to join the Alltech ONE Virtual Experience. (It is) well-organized, with great speakers, very interesting presentations and a bundle of topics that are important for the future and the development in agriculture.

Since I've never made it to ONE: The Alltech Ideas Conference in person, it was great to get a taste of it from my own home. I do believe that, by listening to the speakers online, I took more key messages from their talks than I would have listening to them in person, as you can press replay as many times as you want! However, I would love to experience it in person — hopefully next year!

Thank you for allowing producers such as myself to attend this conference virtually. It has been a great experience, and the ability to view content on my schedule was key.

What a great success this Alltech ONE Virtual Experience (has been) this year. The pandemic neither budged nor created a dent in Alltech's mission to attract and gather the world's attention to attend this special kind of symposium. I loved the collection of speakers and the gamut of topics this year and am so glad that this (platform) is available for us to look back and watch (content) for the entire year.

"The Alltech ONE Conference offers everything: inspiring speakers, relevant presentations for each sector, networking opportunities and, most importantly, hope for the future with the technologies that advance each year to address global issues. I would highly recommend this conference to everyone in the agriculture and food sectors."

"The conference featured excellent sessions that were challenging and thought-provoking, with a fantastic mix of science, business and lifestyle information."

"It was interesting to attend virtually but also be part of ONE big event, where people got together to discuss important topics and how we can leave a better footprint for our children and grandchildren."

"Very well-organized! The ONE app was also helpful. The wide range of content was great, as were the outstanding social events."

"Absolutely loved the atmosphere at the Alltech ONE Conference. There was lots of learning and webinars to attend, with social gatherings and networking events. I had a great time."

"The Alltech ONE Conference was so informative and resourceful. It was executed at such a high level by very professional staff."

"All of the conference events were well-planned, the scheduling of events flowed well, and there was ample room for meeting new people and networking. The scientific information was well-presented and the sessions were easy to find. Also, the app was well-designed and made the conference way easier to attend."

"I attend many conferences, and ONE is, hands down, the best, thanks to its great variety and excellent speakers."

"There were a variety of important topics and speakers at ONE. I enjoyed the opportunity to communicate directly with the speakers and network with industry leaders."

"The energy was vibrant and the dinner nights were such fun. My friends and I especially loved Kentucky Night."
