15th International Conference on Precision Agriculture (ICPA) Now a Hybrid Conference

The 15th International Conference on Precision Agriculture will be held in Minneapolis, Minnesota June 26-29, 2022. Due to continued concerns over Covid and travel, ICPA will be hybrid, offering both in-person and virtual participation!

Registrants Now Have A Virtual Option
In addition to the live, in-person event, registrants will now have the option of participating virtually as well. Registrants will be able to join the meeting live or remotely and will have access to all papers submitted to the conference.

Abstract Submission Extended
To better serve the global precision agriculture community, ICPA has reopened abstract submission until May 1st, 2022. The idea is to allow those who may have abstained from submitting an abstract due to travel restrictions or other obstacles to have to the opportunity to participate in the Conference virtually. Reviews of the initial round of abstracts are complete and authors have been notified. New abstracts will be reviewed as they come in. Authors of abstracts submitted and accepted in February, March and April of 2022 will still be eligible to present at the in-person conference. Please note that all accepted abstracts will be subject to the same deadlines: May 1st for submission of papers for inclusion in the proceedings and June 1st for registration of the presenting author for inclusion in the program (in-person or virtual).

Expanded Program Options
To complement the in-person presentations, oral sessions will include recorded presentations from virtual participants. All registrants will have access to all recorded presentations through the end of September 2022. This allows our global audience to participate in the conference in the most convenient form and time for them.

Poster Presentations
Poster presentations will also be offered in-person and virtually.

Exhibits Hall
Exhibitors and sponsors will be able to setup an online booth so that virtual attendees will be able to learn more about each exhibitor, download content, and link to videos and other resources made available by exhibitors.

Registration Now Includes In-Person and Virtual Options
Registration rates for the conference will remain the same for in-person and virtual participants. The goal of including a virtual option is to remove some of the uncertainty presented by Covid and travel. The combination of in-person and virtual options allows the Precision Agriculture community to register for the conference with confidence that they can participate in one way or the other. Certainly we hope to see all our members in Minneapolis. Pre-conference workshops, the technical tour, and all the networking that comes from being physically together is a great benefit to making the trip. However, by offering a virtual option to all registrants, we hope take some of the risk out of participating.
