365: Past Tents, Future Tents | What We Learned at The InTents Conference

Kicking off this season of Tent Talk, the farmers market podcast, we're looking back at last month's InTents National Farmers Market Conference. Our theme for this series is Past Tents; Future Tents so today we're recapping what we heard and saw at the tenth annual conference, and thinking about ways we might come back even stronger in 2028. Listen in and join us in the comments while we consider:

• The importance of meeting in real life. Zoom fatigue, anyone? 

• Messages and ideas that really stuck with us. What were your favorites? 

• Adding additional tracks for new and experienced market managers to deep dive

• Partnering with a friendly non-profit to fund scholarships. Know anyone?

• Staying in touch between conferences with live calls, focus groups and more
