The fifth annual Tech Hub LIVE Conference and Expo returns to the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines July 21-23 with the theme “TECH THAT WORKS: Driving Efficiencies for Retailer Success and Farmer Resilience.”
Powered by the CropLife Media Group™, in partnership with the Global AgTech Initiative and AgriBusiness Global brands, Tech Hub LIVE continues to grow as the industry’s largest gathering of ag retailers, dealers, agronomists, distributors, manufacturers, consultants, and tech providers committed to advancing practical innovation in agriculture.
Conference organizer Magda Gibson says the whole purpose of the event is to create great business, learning, and networking opportunities. “The idea is to bring together leaders across agronomy, data, automation, digital platforms to explore how technology is transforming the business and practice of agriculture,” said Gibson.
The conference officially kicks off with the Welcome Party Monday evening, sponsored by the Greater Des Moines Partnership, which will be held this year at Principal Park, home of the Iowa Cubs. Prior to that will be the co-located Women in Ag Tech (WiAT) event, which continues to grow in popularity.
Tuesday will include a welcome from Mike Naig, Iowa Secretary of Agriculture, and a fifth anniversary celebration with awards, followed by the keynote address from Jeff Blair, President and CEO of GreenPoint Ag, and multiple educational and networking opportunities. “We have a great and ever-expanding expo floor, we have the Tech Talks, the Fireside Chats, conference sessions…all of our programming is focused on helping retailers do more with less but continue to innovate and grow as every dollar counts,” Gibson said.
Wednesday includes sessions on artificial intelligence, Purdue University’s Bruce Erickson with the latest Precision Ag Adoption survey, and concluding with the popular farmers panel.
