Plan to join us at the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds & Conference Complex. You can find more information and updates closer to the date at Purdue Extension Professional Development Conference.
PDC serves multiple objectives. It offers an annual platform for Purdue Extension Professionals across various program areas to engage in professional development, foster collegial relationships, and expand their networks. It serves as a gathering point for professionals from Purdue's campuses, regional offices, County Extension Offices, and Ag Centers, and Purdue Extension Retirees. Additionally, the conference aims to acknowledge the achievements of Purdue Extension and its professionals, highlighting their positive contributions to Indiana residents. Moreover, it serves as a conduit for keeping Extension Professionals updated on the latest news, research, and opportunities both within Purdue University and throughout Indiana, ensuring they remain informed and equipped for their roles.
