This system allows for efficient group registration, enabling one person to register up to 10 traveling companions on their behalf.
Planning Made Easy:
The caspringtrials.us website provides valuable resources to assist attendees in planning their visit. Two suggested itineraries offer a starting point for exploring the various trial locations, while hotel and restaurant recommendations help optimize travel logistics.
Media Coverage:
Stay informed about CAST 2025 throughout the entire event cycle. The website will be regularly updated with pre-event press releases, real-time coverage during the event, and post-event summaries.
Why Attend:
“CAST is an important part of the program development process for Raker-Roberta’s Young Plants. It’s one of the first places we get to see new introductions live and in person. The uniqueness of the event allows us one-on-one time with breeders to learn about their new products, review older genetic lines, and see what is coming down the pipeline. We frequently see new technology and treatments in the industry and it affords the opportunity to interact with and exchange information with other industry members in a laid-back, comfortable atmosphere,” says Susie Raker, Vice-President of Raker-Roberta’s Young Plants.
