The second day of the VISION Conference carried just as much energy as the first and attendees were just as engaged and eager to participate.
Jennifer Goldston, president and founder of AgTech PR set the stage for the day by talking about messaging and comparing the issues of today with the issues being addressed in the industry and general media back in 2017 at the first VISION Conference.
In the second day keynote address, Corteva’s Brian Lutz explored cross-industry synergies to enable ag tech evolution and talked about the difference between solutions on the farm and the enabling technology that makes those solutions possible.
A panel on cross-industry insights into accelerating ag tech advancement and adoption featured an Amazon Web Services executive, a biotech attorney, and the director of Off-Road Autonomy for Trimble. Ram Devarajulu with Cambridge Consultants moderated the discussion between Ron Osborne, Cassie Edgar, and Meiko Martin.
Harnessing Ag Tech for Sustainable Agriculture Transformation was the title of a panel moderated by Susan Groeneveld, sylvester.ai, and featuring two cutting edge ag tech CEOs Steve Sibulkin with BioLumic and Ben Cloud of Biodel AG.
To wrap it all up, members of the Global Ag Tech Alliance presented their key insights and takeaways and urged everyone to be involved in the future of the industry by becoming members of the alliance, whether big or small.
Meister Media Corporate Content Director Heather Tunstall says they were thrilled with the turnout at the VISION Conference this year and pleased that attendees were able to spend a lot of time networking with each other.
“There were a lot of conversations happening and business collaborations going on, and that was amazing to see,” said Tunstall. “I’m looking forward to seeing what happens in the next few weeks and months to really know how successful it was.”
In addition to the next Tech Hub LIVE event July 29-31 in Des Moines, Tunstall says Meister Media and the Global Ag Tech Initiative have a number of new projects coming up including a new podcast that will be launched next week.
