Indoor Ag-Con is adding a dedicated greenhouse education track to its 2027 conference programme, increasing the event to ten crop- and sector-focused tracks.
The organiser announced on September 29 that the new track will be curated by Dr. Nadia Sabeh, founder of Dr. Greenhouse. Indoor Ag-Con 2027 is scheduled for March 24–25 at the Westgate Las Vegas.
A more operational greenhouse programme
The new track is being positioned around practical greenhouse operating challenges rather than a broad controlled-environment agriculture overview. Announced elements include a Day 2 fireside chat with a greenhouse grower and a greenhouse bootcamp designed as an interactive working session.
The greenhouse programme joins nine other tracks covering areas including vine crops, lettuce and herbs, berries, mushrooms, conventional production, marketing and other controlled-environment segments.
Why it matters
Indoor agriculture events expanded rapidly around vertical farming during the previous investment cycle. Adding a dedicated greenhouse track is another indication that the event market is putting more emphasis on established commercial greenhouse operations and the problems they are actively buying technology to solve.
For suppliers, a more specialised greenhouse programme can also improve the quality of conversations around climate, HVAC, lighting, automation and crop economics.
What remains unclear
The full greenhouse speaker list and detailed session programme are still in development. The organiser says additional speakers and session details will be announced later.
Key takeaways
- Indoor Ag-Con 2027 will include a new dedicated greenhouse track.
- Dr. Nadia Sabeh is developing and curating the programme.
- The March 24–25 event will now offer ten distinct conference tracks.
