Share your Session Ideas and Favorite CSS & Seed EXPO Memories to Help Commemorate ASTA’s FINAL Year in Chicago!

ASTA is in the initial planning stages of the CSS & Seed Expo 2022, our largest convention of the year, being held December 5-8 at the Hyatt Regency Chicago. After 77 years of holding this event in Chicago, and specifically, 45 years at the Hyatt Regency Chicago, 2022 will be the last year CSS will be held in that location before it moves to the Hyatt Regency Orlando in 2023. To help with planning for the 2022 conference, and to commemorate this final year in Chicago, ASTA is seeking your help with two items:

Send us your Favorite CSS Memories!

To mark our years of history in Chicago, and to honor those members who have proudly been returning every year, some for more than 30 years, we invite all past conference participants to submit their favorite photos and memories, including written stories or video recordings, to the ASTA officer. We will compile the submissions and feature them on our CSS 2022 & Seed Expo website leading up to December and showcase them during the event itself. All memories should be sent to Jennifer Crouse at jcrouse@betterseed.org no later than November 1.

Share your Ideas for Session Topics & Speakers!

Additionally, the CSS Program Planning Committee, which plans the educational program for ASTA’s CSS & Seed Expo, will meet at the end of March to review proposed speaker and topic ideas. Do you have one in mind that you’d like to see on the program? If so, feel free to submit your thoughts using this online form. All suggestions will be reviewed, and you might just see your idea on this year’s ASTA program for our last year holding the event in Chicago, December 5-8!
