Croptastic on Stage 2026

​Croptastic on Stage 2026 - inspired by the popular podcast - is a one-day, indoor/outdoor conference that brings together farmers, industry experts, and agtech executives for an intimate exchange of ideas about building a new system for agriculture.

​A free event for CropVoice customers and InnerCircle members (coupon code available via membership + sales team), the day begins with a light breakfast at the World Food Prize Hall of Laureates before attendees board motorcoaches bound for live demonstrations of CropVoice equipment and sensors in our Ames, IA, research fields. Attendees then return to the Hall of Laureates via motorcoach for lunch, followed by interactive discussions covering critical issues affecting farming. The day will culminate with our popular cocktail “science fair” featuring expert-led demonstrations of the science that powers InnerPlant.
