Thank you Virginia, so sorry to hear.
I kind of Knew that Virginia may not be able to join, and I will reach out to Santosh Pitla as an alternative.

Hi, Tala and Amber
Due to extenuating circumstances, I’m unable to attend the 2025 Water for Food Global Conference. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause the planning committee
and conference attendees.
Thank you so much for inviting me to participate as a panel member for the “Artificial intelligence for climate smart solutions and resilient agriculture” session. I
regret missing this meeting and hope that you will have sufficient time to find another speaker on the panel.
Much kindness,
Virginia
