Over 3K At The 2026 Washington/Oregon Potato Conference

While not a record, attendance at this year’s Washington/Oregon Potato Conference in the Tri-Cities was nothing to sneeze at.  Officially, 3,001 attendees walked through the doors at the Three Rivers Convention Center in Kennewick January 27th-29th.

“[The Conference is] a great opportunity for everybody to network and to see people maybe they haven't seen in a year, to meet with vendors and to really get educated and earn some continuing education credits," said Chris Voigt, Executive Director of the Washington State Potato Commission.  "It's always a great time here at Potato Conference.”

Voigt pointed out that the Washington/Oregon event is the largest potato conference in North America.
