Meet Agritecture at Indoor Ag Con 2024 & My Guide to This Year's Event

I am filled with both excitement and a tinge of regret as I write about the upcoming Indoor Ag-Con , scheduled for March 11-12, 2024 (NEXT WEEK), at the grand Caesars Forum in Las Vegas, NV. As an advisor for this top industry event, it's been a journey filled with collaboration the shared passion of pushing the boundaries of what's possible in controlled environment agriculture (CEA).

This year, the lineup is more impressive than ever, with a program meticulously curated to showcase the cutting-edge of agricultural technology, thought leadership in sustainability, and the bright future of farming. Unfortunately, due to prior commitments, I won't be able to attend in person. However, my absence doesn't diminish my excitement for what's in store, nor my eagerness to encourage everyone who can to experience what promises to be an enlightening couple of days.

Meet Djavid, Agritecture's Director of Consulting

In my stead, Agritecture will be represented by none other than Djavid Amidi-Abraham , our Director of Consulting. Djavid's vast expertise in CEA and his visionary approach to agricultural consulting have been instrumental in driving our mission forward. His insights into sustainable farming practices and innovative agricultural solutions are invaluable, making him the perfect guide for anyone looking to explore the potential of indoor agriculture. Djavid is an expert in planning CEA facilities and also in Due Diligence for investors considering them. I highly encourage attendees to seek him out, engage in discussions, and discover how Agritecture can help navigate the future of farming.
