Organizers of the Organic Produce Summit 2021 have moved the dates of this year’s event from July to Sept. 15-16 in Monterey, Calif.

“These continue to be challenging times in trying to host large gatherings, but we believe declining hospitalizations and increased distribution of vaccines will provide a much better, and more favorable, landscape for live, in-person events like OPS to be held in the second half of this year,” Susan Canales, president of OPS said in a news release. “While there will be some changes in this year’s event, our commitment remains the same in providing first-rate content and education with premium networking opportunities for all OPS attendees.”

The newly rescheduled OPS 2021 will be held at the Hyatt Regency Monterey Hotel and Spa, according to the release.
