Animal Agtech: Where Capital Meets the Barn

​This event brings together a select group of producers, industry leaders, and AgTech founders for a focused day of conversation around what innovation actually looks like in practice across animal agriculture.

​Held in Des Moines the day before World Pork Expo, the program is designed to be practical, candid, and operator-driven, bridging perspectives from pork, poultry, and cattle.

​Through a mix of keynote remarks, producer panels, and a startup field day, the goal is to highlight what’s working, what’s not, and where real opportunities exist to build and scale in today’s production environment.
