What is Autonomous Nation?

Autonomous Nation is a premier conference uniting top experts and visionaries in the autonomous industry. This event, hosted by Grand Farm, will take place at Big Iron located on the Red River Valley Fairgrounds on September 12th, 2024. This conference will serve as a time for individuals to connect with influential stakeholders, pioneering entrepreneurs, and leading innovators driving advancements in autonomous technology.

The Autonomous Nation conference is energized by Grand Farm. We are dedicated to being a collaborative network for individuals within the Fargo/Moorhead community to work together and solve problems within agriculture utilizing AgTech and innovation. This event will highlight cutting-edge innovations shaping the future of the industry, complete with live demonstrations showcasing the latest technologies in action to educate individuals either involved or interested in the AgTech world of agriculture.

Autonomous Nation began in 2021 as a way for Grand Farm to adapt a holistic approach towards integrating autonomy within agriculture. Within the agricultural industry there has been a divide between growers and policy makers — our goal within the Autonomous Nation Conference is to strive to better connect these individuals to help advance the autonomy involvement in agriculture.  

Why attend Autonomous Nation?

  • Do YOU want to learn more about the most advanced technology in the agricultural industry?

Time is moving fast, and individuals within the AgTech field have felt the pressure of having to keep up with technology as it advances. This is why industry leaders are coming together at Autonomous Nation to help educate others about the technology, and how to learn it efficiently and use effectively. Join us for informative sessions from stakeholders, entrepreneurs and innovators, PLUS live demonstrations to showcase autonomous technology at its full capacity.

 

  • Do YOU want to close technology gaps within the autonomous agriculture sector?

Within the AgTech industry there is a large divide between individuals and the knowledge of autonomous technology that is used in agriculture. Our goal is to diminish this divide by including live demonstrations, walk throughs, and Q&A sessions. Those who attend Autonomous Nation will leave the conference confident in their knowledge about autonomous technology and how to successfully apply it to agricultural scenarios.

 

  • Are YOU interested in learning how autonomous technologies can help alleviate work shortages?

With autonomy becoming more relevant in our day-to-day lives, it is important to think about the key areas where autonomous technology could help. For instance, autonomous technology has eliminated tasks for individuals, providing them with more time to focus on and enhance their agricultural practices. Join us at Autonomous Nation to learn about ways to elevate work stressors and how to effectively maximize the use of autonomous technology to benefit you.
