How Can I Attend the GPGA Conference and Other Events?

Updated

The Georgia Pecan Growers Association (GPGA) has opened registration for its 2027 conference, according to the association's website. To attend, start at georgiapecan.org, where the homepage currently features a "2027 GPGA Conference" block with a "Save the Dates" notice and a "Registration now open!" message. The same page also links to a 2027 Media Kit for advertising in The Pecan Grower magazine and a 2027 Membership Packet for renewing or joining. Because the site does not publish the full agenda, session times, or fees on the homepage, you will need to follow the event link or contact the association directly for those details.

What the website currently confirms

The homepage presents three time-sensitive items side by side:

Item What the page says What it means for you
2027 GPGA Conference "Save the Dates for our 2027 Show! Registration now open!" You can register now; the exact dates are announced on the event page
2027 Media Kit "Advertise today in The Pecan Grower Magazine" A route for vendors and advertisers rather than general attendees
2027 Membership Packet "Renew or become a new member of GPGA for 2027!" Membership is handled separately from conference registration

The page does not list a conference fee, a registration deadline, or a session schedule. Treat any specific date or price you see elsewhere as unverified until it appears on the GPGA site or in a GPGA communication.

Steps to register and stay informed

  1. Go to georgiapecan.org. The conference block sits on the homepage, so you do not need to hunt through menus to find the announcement.
  2. Open the conference link. Follow the "More Details" link in the 2027 GPGA Conference block. This is where registration, dates, and location information live.
  3. Register while it is open. The page states registration is now open, so the practical step is to complete it before the window closes — the site does not state a closing date.
  4. Check the EVENTS section. The site's navigation includes an EVENTS tab, which is the natural place for other GPGA activities beyond the annual conference.
  5. Subscribe to the newsletter. The homepage has a "Sign Up For Georgia Pecan Growers Association Newsletter" form requiring a name and email. This is the most direct way to receive schedule updates and registration reminders.
  6. Follow GPGA on social media. The site lists Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube accounts, described as the place to "stay up-to-date with the latest news and events."

If the details you need aren't online

The homepage does not publish an agenda, a speaker list, or a fee table. If those matter to your decision — for example, if you are traveling and need to know which days to book, or you need to justify the cost internally — contact the association:

  • Phone: 229-382-2187
  • Fax: 404-393-9298
  • Email: via the "Email Us" link on the site
  • Mail: Georgia Pecan Growers Association, 220 East Second St, Suite A (P.O. Box 1367), Tifton, Georgia 31794

Common sticking points

  • Registration open does not mean details are posted. The homepage confirms registration is open but not what it costs or covers. Confirm before you commit travel.
  • Membership and conference registration are separate. The 2027 Membership Packet is about joining or renewing GPGA, not about securing a conference seat.
  • The magazine ad kit is not an attendee path. The 2027 Media Kit is for advertising in The Pecan Grower, so skip it unless you are promoting a business.
  • Newsletter signup requires an email. The form marks the email field as required, so plan to use an address you check regularly.

For anyone whose main question is simply "can I sign up right now?" — the answer from the site is yes, registration for the 2027 GPGA Conference is described as open, and the newsletter and social channels are the reliable ways to catch the schedule once GPGA publishes it.
