Additional Sponsorship Opportunities
As a partner, you can showcase solutions, build strategic relationships, and align your organization with practical innovation shaping the future of food production. Your support helps keeping the summit free for general attendees—removing barriers to participation so more growers, researchers, technology developers, students, and industry professionals can take part.
We're happy to work with you directly. Reach out to Tanya Hodges, EdD at thodges@cals.arizona.edu, or Connor Osgood at connoro@arizona.edu to discuss sponsorship opportunities, custom partnerships, or questions.
