Landowners have the opportunity to speak with resource agency personnel, wildlife biologists, enterprise operators, and business professionals.

In the morning session, presentations on various topics related to business and habitat management are given. Professionals are on hand for a question and answer session after their talks. The afternoon session is held in the field, at various stops on each property that illustrate wildlife habitat management.
