How it Works
BEFORE THE EVENT
We work with you to create a detailed profile highlighting your technologies, solutions, and expertise, while growers outline their operational priorities and challenges. Both sides review each other’s profiles and indicate meeting preferences. Using this mutual feedback, we curate your personalized schedule of 1:1 meetings and facilitate introductions in advance.
DURING THE EVENT
Over two focused days, engage in private, 50-minute meetings with executives from top grower operations. Between sessions, connect with industry leaders through curated networking, shared meals, and candid discussions, fostering meaningful dialogue, strategic insights, and long-term business relationships that drive growth and collaboration across the specialty crop sector.
THE VALUE
You leave CONNECT with direct relationships with senior grower executives, a thorough understanding of their operational priorities, and actionable next steps from every meeting. Our team remains actively engaged after the event to support follow-up, strengthen connections, and help ensure meaningful, long-term impact and growth for your business.
