The five-day event brings together academia, government agencies, policymaking groups, nonprofits, non-governmental organizations, entrepreneurs, water managers, growers, commodity boards, students and private industry partners to explore research, expand technologies and share relevant knowledge around water management for high-productivity commercial agriculture, smallholder agricultural water management and environmental and human health in agricultural systems
The full conference agenda and a current list of speakers can be found on the conference website. More than 27 sessions are planned, including more than 75 speakers.
The event will also include several optional bus tours across Nebraska on April 28 and May 2 for an additional fee of $100 each.
