This year’s theme, Communicating the Science in Agriculture, brings us back to our roots, focusing on the power and purpose of science communication. In a world full of noise, our ability to share meaningful, evidence-based stories is more important than ever. Level Up 2025 will spotlight how we can craft compelling narratives that connect agricultural science with the audiences who need it most. Over two half-day sessions, you’ll hear from ACE peers and outside experts who are breaking through the clutter and making science matter. Whether you're a seasoned communicator or just getting started, this is your opportunity to sharpen your skills, gain fresh insights, and be inspired. Mark your calendars and plan to join us! |

| Meet Our 2025 Level Up Keynote Speaker: Dr. Eric Brennan We are excited to announce that Dr. Eric Brennan, research horticulturist with the USDA-Agricultural Research Service in Salinas, California, will deliver the keynote address at the 2025 Level Up Conference. Dr. Brennan’s presentation, “What I Learned about Ag Science Communication during my YouTube Adventures,” will highlight his unique journey in science communication and the lessons he’s learned along the way. As a leading researcher, Dr. Brennan focuses on organic and climate-smart crop management in California’s Central Coast, with expertise in cover crops, biological pest control, weeds, soil health, and nutrient management in tillage-intensive vegetable and strawberry systems. Beyond his research, he is passionate about making science engaging and accessible to a broad audience—farmers, scientists, teachers, and the public—through creative, do-it-yourself video production. He also helps scientists and educators develop the skills to tell their own stories through video. Join us as Dr. Brennan shares insights from his research and his YouTube adventures, inspiring us all to think differently about how we communicate science. |
