NOVEMBER 10–11, 2026 • CHARLOTTE–CONCORD, NC
Built to Last.
For growers building stronger, more resilient operations.
Two days built around the questions that actually affect your business: how to sell more, control costs, choose technology that pays off, solve production problems, and scale without sacrificing profitability.
WHERE GROWERS COME FOR ANSWERS
Technology is a tool. Better outcomes are the goal.
You do not need another room full of shiny objects. You need a place to ask whether an idea makes money, saves labor, reduces risk, or helps you sell more.
- Will this investment actually pay off?
- Will buyers want what I am growing?
- How do I control energy and labor costs?
- What are other growers learning the hard way?
2026 PROGRAM PREVIEW
Built around the decisions growers are making right now.
Not broad theory. Not product pitches. Practical conversations about growing, selling, and operating profitably.
The Buyers Are In
Candid advice to help growers sell more and understand what buyers actually want.
Energy Management & Costs
Real strategies for one of the biggest expenses impacting controlled environment operations.
Growing Hybrid
Hear from field growers incorporating controlled environments and what they are learning.
Crop-Specific Troubleshooting
Leafies, vine crops, herbs, berries, mushrooms, genetics, yield loss, and production challenges.
The Business of Growing
Profitability, capital, workforce, food safety, packaging, sustainability, and equipment decisions.
Grower Leadership Exchange
A closed-door, invitation-only leadership forum for key growers and buyers.
"The CEAg Conference was even better this year than last year... As a grower, I learned a ton about how to better position my products to wholesalers and retailers, which will help our business grow even more in 2026."
Garrett Corwin, Piedmont Microgreens
