New association alliances

Indoor Ag-Con is forging new alliances with other events, industry associations/groups that will play an integral role in its marketing outreach and conference programming. Look for partnership announcements coming soon.

Fine-tuned educational program featuring three dedicated tracks

The schedule will offer a mix of panel presentations, fireside chats and other programs that bring together different perspectives and steer clear of commercial pitches.
