Join the IANR Digital Agriculture Networking and Engagement Event
The IANR Digital Agriculture Task Force invites you to participate in a series of events designed to connect and engage University of Nebraska–Lincoln faculty, staff, and students who are working—or interested in working—in digital agriculture.
As the next step following our IANR Digital Ag initial survey, these events aim to gather community input and strengthen connections among those interested in digital agriculture. Together, we’re laying the groundwork to launch the Nebraska Digital Agriculture Hub.
This event is designed for UNL faculty, students, and staff, with future events planned to engage stakeholders across the agricultural community, including farmers, companies, non-profits, and other partners.
- Register and attend the event to connect with peers and explore opportunities for collaboration.
- Spread the word among colleagues, faculty, students, and staff who may be interested in Digital Agriculture.
- Share your success story by presenting it in the Rapid Flash Talks session during the event.
- Attend and share your thoughts on the discussion table topics towards building the Nebraska Digital Ag Hub.
- This event has no cost for attendees.
- Together, let’s build the future of Digital Agriculture at UNL.
