The free-entry event will have more than 20 agtech exhibitors and 30 presentations from Tuesday May 9 to Thursday May 11.
Some of the companies would be launching new products and services at the event, based on technologies like drones, robots and automated onfarm sensors.
The exhibition marquee would be open from 9.30am to 4pm each day and the presentations and panel discussions would take place in the LIC Hooper Innovation Centre from 10.30am to 3.30pm.
Organiser Peter Wren-Hilton said Farming2020 was a signature event of this year’s nationwide Techweek 2017.
“Over 10 days in May more than 150 tech-focused events will demonstrate some of the great innovation that is taking place across multiple technology domains.”
Farming2020 would actively promote New Zealand’s emerging agtech ecosystem both onshore and in international markets.
The Thursday session would be introduced by United States Consul General Melanie Higgins to begin a conversation with Silicon Valley-based thought-leaders, either in person or by satellite feed.
A corresponding session on Wednesday would feature leading NZ agribusinesses including LIC, Gallagher, Landcorp and Rezare Systems.
The farm is at 835 Rukuhia Rd, Temple View, Ohaupo, close to Hamilton Airport.
