The highly anticipated Tech Hub LIVE Conference and Expo, powered by CropLife Media Group®, is ready for take off July 29-31, 2024, at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines.

Organizers announced that the exhibit hall is officially sold out, showcasing a dynamic range of exhibitors and sponsors who will be present to share their innovative products and services. Back once again this year as Education Sponsor is Ever.Ag. Ben Sloan, VP of Products and Strategy, says they consider that sponsorship to be a great opportunity for them to connect with a wide variety of attendees. “We have efforts in the dairy and livestock space, we have efforts in the financial services and risk management space, and we really work in the agribusiness space and there’s a clear synergy and connection between all of those three legs of the stool,” said Sloan, who will be giving a presentation on how to better leverage insights and data.

This is the third time the event has been hosted in Des Moines, which has welcomed them with open arms between the Greater Des Moines Partnership, Iowa Economic Development Authority, ISU Research Park, and America’s Cultivation Corridor. “There’s probably not a better fit for America’s Cultivation Corridor than Tech Hub LIVE,” says Executive Director Billi Hunt. “Over the last ten years, we have seen a 40% increase in food and ag businesses located in Iowa, nearly 10,000 patents happening for our industry, and over 175% increase in venture capitol coming to our industry in Iowa.” The Iowa welcoming party will be a Top Gun-themed event at at the Ricochet in downtown Des Moines.

In addition, the third in-person meeting of Women in Ag Tech (WiAT) will be taking place at Tech Hub LIVE on July 29, from 10:00 a.m. to 5:15 p.m. Building on the success of last year’s launch, this one-day event continues to provide a platform for women in ag tech to connect, engage, and build a supportive community.
