Catch up with the Latest & Greatest at AgSmart 2021
Friday, July 9, 2021
Olds College is excited to welcome you back to AgSmart on August 10 & 11 for the follow-up to the successful launch in 2019! The event management team has been building the evolved event since last fall, with health and safety as the top priority. The team will continually be updating the event plan based on the Government of Alberta’s and Alberta Health Services requirements.
Industry engagement in the event has been remarkable with many exciting features being offered at AgSmart 2021. Around 100 exhibitors will be onsite to profile the latest and greatest in the ag tech segment of the industry. With the mix of returning and new exhibitors there is a lot of new products and services being showcased at the expo.
“We are pleased to see so much uptake in the industry for AgSmart 2021,” says Stacy Felkar of AgSmart. “Since we hosted our inaugural event in 2019, there are quite a few new organizations in the ag tech space and it is exciting to see where the established companies are heading.”
The educational expo will focus on content relevant to both crop and livestock producers, including new partner OneCup AI.
“We want to exhibit at AgSmart because we really wanted an opportunity to allow for producers to try our BETSY platform, ask us questions and see how having the system on their ranch will enhance the management of their livestock,” says Mokah Shmigelsky of OneCup AI. “BETSY (Bovine, Expert, Tracking and Surveillance) allows producers, feedlot operators, and farmers a way to monitor and track their livestock with ease. The system is plug and play, allowing those without a heavy background in technology to install and begin using BETSY immediately as their AI Ranch.”
New this year, the expo will be offering their plenary sessions digitally on the evening of August 9. The opening plenary, by AgExpert, will focus on the future of farming and how to boost your bottom line with data and digital tech. Additional plenary sessions include content from TELUS Agriculture, ATB, THRIVE and Olds College Smart Farm. Digital content will be free to access.
AgSmart is a unique opportunity to check out the projects and research at Olds College Smart Farm and Technology Access Centre for Livestock Production, including a special project tour on campus.
Attendees have the opportunity to engage in the learning expo through live demos, interactive exhibits, and over 50 educational session options. Tickets are available at AgSmartOlds.ca, starting at $20 for students and $60 for producers and industry.
