CEAg World, Meister Media Worldwide’s new diversified business venture serving the rapidly expanding controlled environment agriculture (CEA) industry, announces the inaugural CEAg World Conference and Expo taking place Aug. 26-28, 2024, in Raleigh, NC. Located at the heart of the industry along the eastern corridor, CEAg World Conference and Expo offers a convenient central destination for attendees.
CEAg World brings together the broad spectrum of industries advancing food production in any form of controlled environment agriculture, including greenhouses, hoop houses and high tunnels, outdoor operations using shading or netting, vertical farms, container farms, aquaponics, and more.
As fruit and vegetable growers, considerations about how best to produce and protect crops amid challenging and changing environmental pressures are becoming paramount.
“This innovative new event will bring together the growing CEA ecosystem, filling a market void with an event serving the broad spectrum of sectors advancing food produced under cover,” says Karen Varga, CEAg World Content Lead. “CEAg World Conference and Expo will provide an exclusive forum for all CEA businesses including traditional outdoor farms utilizing protected cropping systems (e.g., hoop houses, netting, and/or tunnels), greenhouses, vertical farms, urban agriculture ventures, aquaponic operations, and more.”
CEAg World Conference and Expo will attract 700+ attendees and more than 100 exhibiting companies from all industry sectors with an innovative new event. “Attendees can tailor their experience, engaging with thought leaders and innovators throughout the high-impact, multi-track conference program, an expansive exhibit hall showcasing the latest technology, and a variety of networking events designed for collaboration and idea exchange,” adds Amy Reddington, CEAg World Show Director. “The programming will address key challenges for businesses and cover areas such as cost management strategies, optimizing lighting solutions, increasing ROI, crop growth optimization, market insights, climate control, pest and disease management, sustainable practices, and more.”
Meister Media Worldwide’s decades of experience serving fruit and vegetable farms and greenhouse businesses, with leading national brands American Fruit Grower, American Vegetable Grower, and Greenhouse Grower, along with conducting events around the world for specialty agricultural markets, ensures this new event will be the gateway to success for this emerging sector.
