Southwest Agriculture Summit
Southwest AG Summit will offer a complete agricultural experience by connecting the agricultural industry, with the community...
This event will be the perfect opportunity to celebrate Yuma's agricultural industry and to learn more about what "ag" means to our community.
We are excited to announce a new epicurean component that will incorporate Yuma produce, gourmet chefs and restaurants, and cooking demonstrations. We are in negotiations with a celebrity chef that will add to the ability to reach more visitors to the event. With this growth, it is only fitting that we are expanding to two venues... the Quartermaster Depot and Main Street. These "appetizing" venues will be connected by the Tractor Trail.
The Southwest AG Summit will be hosted by the Yuma Visitor's Bureau. Sponsorships are available at a variety of levels. Please contact Kristen Sheppeard at (928) 376-0100. General questions, please call (928) 783-0177.
