Indoor Ag-Con, a trade show and conference for the controlled environment agriculture, greenhouse and vertical farming industry, says its opening morning keynote address March 11 will feature CEA leaders sharing their views on the state of the industry, focusing on today’s challenges and tomorrow’s opportunities.
Growers also will address the outlook for indoor vertical farming and high-tech greenhouse production, including leafy greens, tomatoes, berries and more, according to a news release.
“I’m excited to moderate the ‘State of the Industry’ keynote at Indoor Ag-Con, as it’s not just about guiding a conversation, it’s about challenging perspectives, uncovering solutions and pushing the boundaries of what’s next in controlled environment agriculture,” said Tom Stenzel, CEA Alliance executive director, who will moderate the panel. “This industry moves fast, but the real impact comes when visionaries, growers and leaders come together to shape the future of food.”
Leaders across the CEA landscape — including Tisha Livingston, president of 80 Acres and CEO of Infinite Acres; Skip Hulett, vice president and general counsel of NatureSweet; and Abby Prior, chief commercial officer of BrightFarms — will join Stenzel on stage.
“The opening keynote is one of the highlights of Indoor Ag-Con and sets the stage for the two-day conference, which is jam-packed with inspiring and thought-provoking sessions,” said Brian Sullivan, CEO of Indoor Ag-Con. “We are honored to have three industry leaders whose expertise will provide attendees with actionable insights and a road map for success in this rapidly evolving industry.”
