Research Park hosts this annual event that brings leaders in agricultural technology together to “explore how technology solutions are addressing some of the most significant challenges facing agriculture today — and learn about what is on the horizon.” The day will be filled with expert panels, featuring topics such as The Journey of Sustainability, Carbon Strategy in AgTech, The Intelligent Farm, and more. This year’s summit will be at the I Hotel, and registration is open.
The Glen “GB” Brandt Prize for Ag Entrepreneurism will be awarded that day to an “Illinois farmer for their role in advancing innovation and entrepreneurship in the ag sector.” The recipient will receive $10,000. Nominations can be made through February 10th.
The summit is one part of Champaign-Urbana AgTech Week, which lasts from March 6th to 10th. Find the full list of events at the Champaign County Economic Development Corporation website.
