In honor of our 30th anniversary, OMRI is excited to announce a Day-Long Conference, "Get the Dirt: Behind the Inputs" on February 16th, 8:30 am to 4:30 pm PT, in Portland Oregon. The conference is taking place in conjunction with the Organicology conference, February 16-18.

What is "Get the Dirt"?

  •  Get the Dirt: Behind the Inputs is a day-long conference presented by OMRI to celebrate our 30th anniversary.
  • You will be able to attend two workshops of your choice.
  • Registration includes lunch and does not require registration for Organicology's full conference.

Who is this conference for?

Get the Dirt: Behind the Inputs is for all those who have built the organic system alongside us!

Our workshop tracks are geared towards three different audiences:

  • Input manufacturers
  • Farmers
  • Wholesalers, retailers, certifiers, and consumers

Our day-long conference will be bookended by two panels: how materials review grew up alongside the organic sector, and where it's going in the next 30 years.
