NORFOLK, Neb. – Northeast Community College is proud to announce the 17th annual AgCeptional Conference, set for Friday, November 21, at the Norfolk Lifelong Learning Center.
This one-day event is designed to celebrate, connect, and empower those working in agriculture with practical tools, inspiring stories, and hands-on learning.
Since its beginning, the AgCeptional Conference has grown into one of the region’s premier agricultural events, welcoming producers, ag professionals, and community members from across Nebraska and beyond. This year’s theme, “Your Brand, Your Story,” celebrates the entrepreneurial spirit and strong work ethic that define the agriculture industry.
Attendees will have the opportunity to choose from a variety of breakout sessions covering critical topics in agriculture today ranging from farm transition planning and financial tools to women’s health, stress management, regenerative practices, and marketing strategies. Presenters include farmers, attorneys, educators, mental health professionals, and entrepreneurs who bring both expertise and real-world experience to the conversation.
This year’s conference includes an exclusive floral workshop with Blossom + Birch, where participants can design their own fresh fall centerpiece to take home. Seating is limited to 50 participants and requires an additional $60 registration fee.
“The AgCeptional Conference is about more than education—it’s about celebrating the people who make agriculture strong,” said Connie Sixta, Northeast Community College’s dean of Science, Technology, Agriculture, Math, and Humanities. “For 17 years, we’ve brought together producers, families, and ag professionals to share knowledge, encouragement, and ideas that strengthen both operations and communities.”
The conference will conclude with a social networking opportunity downtown at Black Cow Fat Pig’s Event Space for participants in the Blossom + Birch workshop.
Registration is open now at the Northeast Community College website under Events, or by searching AgCeptional Conference. Early bird registration is available through October 31. After that date, ticket prices will increase. The Nebraska Soybean Board is recognized as the Legacy Sponsor of the AgCeptional Conference.
