ABOUT OUR COMPANY – INDOOR AG-CON LLC

Three of us — all seasoned event industry professionals — joined forces to form the new Ag-Con, LLC management company — Nancy Hallberg, Kris Sieradzki and Brian Sullivan. We acquired Indoor Ag-Con, LLC from Newbean Capital in December 2018. Our team delivered the successful Indoor Ag-Con Asia event in Singapore five weeks later. And, we followed up shortly after with the May 2019 Las Vegas edition, which welcomed growers, academics and other industry members throughout the US, Canada and several other foreign countries.

Newbean Capital and its founder, Nicola Kerslake, have built very successful, well-respected events and we are honored to have the opportunity to continue this tradition of success. And, Nicola continues her relationship with the event, serving in a high-valued consultant role helping to guide our conference programming and new initiatives.

Nancy and Kris co-founded Connections Housing in 1986. It has emerged as one of the fastest growing full-service sourcing, housing and event management companies in the industry. Brian Sullivan launched his event management services company, Great American Expo in 1994. Since then, he has built a reputation as an expert in trade show, conference and special event production. He has managed events with attendance as high as 80,000.

HOW WE’RE DIFFERENT

WE’RE CROP AGNOSTICAt Indoor Ag-Con, we believe that the next great breakthrough is as likely to come from someone working with different crops as it is from someone in your own sand box. Our events provide a venue for those working with crops from leafy greens, to alternate proteins, to medicinal crops to meet and exchange ideas.

WE’RE TECH & BUSINESS-FOCUSED Our event is focused on connecting all agriculture supply chain stakeholders, featuring programs and exhibits covering everything from business training, customer relations and governmental developments to hands-on training and product innovations.

We also focus on the current and future technologies that drive the indoor agriculture industry, often sitting stealth-stage innovative startups alongside multinationals on our speaking panels. We’ve hosted myriad ‘firsts’ in indoor agriculture technology, such as, Freight Farm’s introduction of its FarmHand mobile app for remote control of container farms.

WE’RE INNOVATORSWe make contributions to the indoor agriculture industry that go well beyond our events. Our white papers provide one of the few reliable sources of information on the growing industry, and have been downloaded more than 10,000 times. We created the first ever indoor agriculture Kindle books as well as numerous infographics.
