2020 WEEK AT A GLANCE
Food I Ag I Ideas Week is multiple days of speakers, events, tours, and demo showcases hosted in inspiring spaces with a build-your-own schedule format. In 2019, sessions were designed to offer perspectives from a cross-section of the ecosystem from startups to Fortune 500 companies.
We broke the traditional conference model by offering individually ticketed events and sessions at low or no-cost through the generous support of our partners. Read more about how it worked.
