Indoor Ag-Con announces speakers for 2020 conference

LAS VEGAS — Attendees will hear from CEOs, thought leaders and industry experts from today’s cutting-edge farms and other innovative companies during Indoor Ag-Con, a crop-agnostic trade event for vertical and indoor farming, heading to the Wynn Las Vegas from May 18-20. Among them are keynote speakers David Rosenberg, CEO, Aerofarms; Mike Zelkind, CEO, 80 Acres Farms; and Sonia Lo, CEO, Crop One Holdings.

The 2020 Conference Schedule will feature three core tracks — Business, Science | Technology and Alternative Crops.

“We surveyed our past attendees to find out what they need from a conference and our 2020 format and track topics are in direct response to their feedback,” says Nancy Hallberg, co-owner of Indoor Ag-Con LLC, along with other event industry veterans Brian Sullivan and Kris Sieradzki. “The full program will offer a mix of panel presentations, fireside chats, roundtables and other programs that bring together different perspectives and steer clear of commercial pitches.”

In addition to the extensive educational component, attendees will also find more new initiatives and show highlights to explore during the May 2020 edition, including:
