Advancing AgTech for Small & Medium Growers
Roundtable Style. Deep Conversation. True Collaboration.
Join us for an intimate evening with a curated group of innovators, educators, and entrepreneurs shaping the future of agriculture—from sensor-level insights to greenhouse automation, from AR-based education tools to field trial design.
This gathering will feature Happy Quality, a Japanese company revolutionizing small-scale farming through:
Highly mobile plant sensing tools that bring precision analytics to small greenhouses and field operations
AR-integrated training systems designed to equip growers and students with visual, on-the-ground learning
Global business strategies that connect growers to retail through their Happy Toma biz model.
Whether you’re a grower, technologist, researcher, or educator—this event is a space to learn, connect, and explore collaboration around tools that make high-performance agriculture accessible and scalable for all.
Refreshments and light fare provided.
