The meme from the 196O’s Spiderman cartoon has been popular on social media sites for nearly a decade. In the image, there are two Spidermen dressed alike pointing at each other. Oftentimes, we get so caught up in our own work that we fail to realizethere are others doing similar things. Our Spiderman meme moment came in our work together on the FFA Agriscience Fair Committee. During a break from one of the sessions, we learned that a significant part of both our jobs dealt with providing support for beginning teachers in our respective states. We shared ideas and best practices but hoped the conversation would not end there. We set out to find other Spidermen, or in this case, people like us who work to support beginning agriculture teachers. Werealized that people who work to support beginning teachers are engaged in various professional organizations and work in various roles. Our plan was to facilitate a digital conference around sharing ideas and best practices for supporting beginning agriculture teachers. We wanted an online conference to be able to include as many people as possible even if they had a limited travel budget.
