The United States Trout Farmers Association (USTFA) is seeking presenters and sponsors for the 2024 fall conference, which will be held at Rolling Hills Casino & Resort in Corning, California September 11 – 13, 2024.
Seeking Presenters
The speaker sessions are the cornerstone of every USTFA fall conference. We invite you to participate and share your knowledge or story with the USTFA membership and industry members throughout the nation. Trout farmers are always looking for information to help our industry innovate and put #americasfish within everyone’s reach. Please, share your knowledge!
Presentations from past conferences have included scientific research, market and demographic studies, advertising and marketing insight, technological innovations, personal stories and experiences as a farmer (a fan favorite!), and more. Informative and fun is our goal.
We will also have a portion of the speaker sessions allocated for the vendor (trade show participants) presentations. This session offers vendors a great opportunity to showcase their latest products and innovations (but no informercials, please 🙃).
Trout farmers, this is your meeting – let us know what is new and noteworthy for your operations.
If you would like to give a presentation during the fall conference, please contact Michael Lee (ustroutfarmersassociation@gmail.com) to discuss your topic and title.
Seeking Sponsors
The United States Trout Farmers Association (USTFA) conference is right around the corner – sign up to be a sponsor while there are spots left!
As a sponsor, your company name and logo will appear in the conference program, on a sponsors poster acknowledged throughout the meeting, and in the Trout Talk newsletter.
If you are interested in sponsoring this year’s fall conference, please email Michael Lee at ustroutfarmersassociation@gmail.com or select your sponsorship during online registration.

About Mt. Lassen:
Family and heritage are two important things to know about. Our trout and steelhead operation has been in existence since 1949, almost 75 years. 50 years ago, Phil Mackey started working here. Phil’s love of the natural world and his curiosity led to the breeding of the unique, Mt. Lassen trout. Phil strived for perfection – but he knew perfection was an unreachable goal. Refinement, improvement was possible. His daughter Katie grew up on the same farm, watching what it took to keep those fish thriving and improving.
