9th International Conference on Precision Agriculture

The 9th International Conference on Precision Agriculture  (ICPA) is envisaged to be the largest ever; with more than 500 attendees from all over the United States and 35 countries. The summer month of July is a gorgeous time of the year to be in beautiful Colorado. Surrounded by the Rocky Mountain National Park on the West to the Great Plains on the East, Denver is nestled in the heart of the USA. FAR  and IPNI have teamed up with Colorado State University to present this new edition of the ICPA, carrying on the tradition of 8 previous conferences in Minnesota.

As with previous ICPA Conferences, the 9th International Conference on Precision Agriculture will provide a forum for presentations on the current state of precision agriculture research and applications. The Conference will facilitate interaction among research scientists, producers, technology company representatives, equipment manufacturers, input dealers, agronomic consultants, software developers, educators, government personnel and policymakers.

The ICPA Conference will highlight significant research and applications in precision agriculture, and will showcase emerging technologies and information management. ICPA will offer oral and poster presentations and exhibits, as well as opportunities for discussion and exchange of information in various aspects of precision agriculture. Dedicated sessions for practitioners entitled “Precision A to Z Tracks” will offer practical advice from international authorities on key topics of precision agriculture for producers and professionals.

We look forward to seeing you at the 9th International Conference on Precision Agriculture in Denver, Colorado.
