dc.description.abstractWhile the agricultural industry increasingly faces complex challenges that require diverse stakeholder input, traditional meetings often limit engagement and perpetuate top-down dynamics, inhibiting effective problem-solving. This article explores the “un-meeting” format as an alternative, highlighting its ability to foster inclusive, participant-driven discussions that encourage collaborative brainstorming and actionable outcomes. Based on our experience with a statewide agriculture summit, we discuss the principles underlying un-meetings, the facilitation process, and the practical implications for Extension professionals. Recommendations include the importance of knowledgeable facilitators, a large team for effective management, and limiting session cycles to maintain focus and depth in discussions.en
