Earth Precision Agriculture Conference 2026 (EPA 2026)

The inaugural Earth Precision Agriculture Conference 2026 (EPA 2026) convenes at the BMO Centre in Calgary, Alberta, expecting more than 1,000 attendees from 40-plus countries. Its stated mission is to advance the convergence of artificial intelligence and agriculture to help ensure global food security.

Chaired by Dr Farhad Maleki of the University of Calgary's Centre for Precision Agriculture, the technical program spans foundational AI and machine learning, computer vision for crops, autonomous systems and robotics, remote sensing, and responsible AI in farming. A dedicated AI in Agriculture track sits at the core of the agenda alongside precision livestock and robotics streams.

The conference is aimed at researchers, innovators, investors and industry leaders working on the digital transformation of agriculture. Held in person over 10-14 August 2026, it blends academic paper sessions with applied demonstrations, making it a strong fit for computer-vision and machine-learning specialists who want to apply their work to crops, soil and food systems. Delegates should expect keynotes, peer-reviewed tracks and networking with an international precision-ag community.
