2026 Agtech Innovation Forum: Drone Technology

Discover the future of agricultural UAVs at the Ag UAV Executive Forum - a one-day convening designed for decision-makers navigating rapid technology shifts and a changing regulatory and procurement landscape.

Join us in College Station for a high-signal forum bringing together leading ag UAV startups and manufacturers, operators, growers, lenders, investors, and policy/compliance experts for candid, forward-looking discussions on what’s real in the market today - and what will matter most heading into 2026.

Explore the technologies and operating models advancing ag UAV adoption, including spray drone platforms, autonomy and perception stacks, fleet operations and compliance software, and data workflows that support auditability and trusted deployment. Whether you’re an ag executive, grower, operator, investor, or institutional partner, you’ll leave with a clearer understanding of the category - and how to engage with the best teams shaping it.

What to Expect

Startup Demonstrations
See a curated selection of field-ready solutions and, where feasible, live demonstrations that emphasize real operational workflows - not just flight.

Expert Insights
Hear from leaders across industry and policy as they translate the latest developments - including procurement and regulatory uncertainty - into practical, executive-level decision frameworks.

Collaboration Opportunities
Connect with founders, operators, and ecosystem stakeholders—and engage with contributors from the Texas A&M University System to explore pathways for research collaboration, extension engagement, and Texas-based deployment.

Featuring contributions from Texas A&M University System leaders and the broader Texas ag innovation ecosystem, this forum highlights College Station’s role as a natural hub for convening serious conversations—and accelerating field-ready agricultural technology.

Join us as we help define the next chapter of agricultural UAV adoption. We look forward to seeing you there!
