IFAJ: Huge response to virtual conference is bold statement on sharing information
June 10, 2020
In May, one of my last official acts as IFAJ president was to join Alltech President Dr. Mark Lyons in virtually presenting Joseph Opoku Gakpo of Ghana with the IFAJ-Alltech International Award for Leadership in Agricultural Journalism (see story here). The ceremony was significant not only because it recognized Joseph’s accomplishments and leadership, but because it took place during what may have been the biggest gathering of international agricultural journalists ever – 585 of us from 57 countries. We were part of the 36th annual ONE: The Alltech Ideas Conference, this year held online as the ONE Virtual Experience.
