North American Blueberry Research and Extension Workers Conference
Date: June 23-26, 2014
Location: Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel, Atlantic City, NJ
Every 4 years, research and extension workers from throughout North America and abroad meet to exchange ideas and research results on current blueberry issues. This year’s conference is being hosted by Rutgers University and USDA at the Sheraton Atlantic City Convention Center Hotel, New Jersey.
New Jersey is “Where it all began” – where highbush blueberries were first bred and cultivated. In addition to updates on current extension and research activities, there will be tours of a winery, blueberry production areas and packing facilities. The program will highlight new varieties, and the management of diseases and invasive pests like spotted wing drosophila (SWD).
Program information can be found on our web site,
