There are several specific Ag Trade Show (ATS) sessions that may be of interest to you. The ATS is January 13-16, 2026 and is free and open to the public. The online schedule is available here: ATS Schedule for 2026. We encourage you to attend and share these sessions with your organizations/industries. Note that below are some graphics you could utilize specifically about the health insurance session. These graphics were created by Consumers for Affordable Health Care and are intended to help raise awareness via social media channels (Emmie O’Donnell, Communications Coordinator, EODonnell@mainecahc.org)
