KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AgPR) - FarmCon Founder Kevin Van Trump announced today that Stratovation Group will partner as a stakeholder with the FarmCon team to provide additional support in event sales, management, and on-site execution for the 2026 conference. The partnership is designed to give the current FarmCon team more capacity as the event grows, without changing its mission or direction.

"FarmCon has grown quickly, and our sponsors and attendees expect continued operational excellence and top-shelf content," said Kevin Van Trump. "The Stratovation team brings the resources and know-how to help us handle the details so we can continue to build this event on what has made FarmCon the exclusive can't-miss event to start off the new year."

The Future of Farming is Here: FarmCon 2026

Set for January 7-8, 2026 in Kansas City, FarmCon is the annual gathering where leading farmers, ag innovators, tech disruptors, investors, and industry leaders meet to network, share insights, and make deals. The event draws more than 1,200 attendees from across the agricultural value chain, from progressive producers to venture-backed ag-tech startups and seasoned investment professionals.

The 2026 program features a mix of keynote speakers, panel discussions, live startup pitch sessions, and trade show demos--all with a focus on turning ideas into action. Keynote speakers include:

Erika Ayers Badan, CEO of Food52 and former CEO of Barstool Sports, who built one of the fastest-growing digital media companies in the U.S.

Zack Kass, former Head of Go-to-Market at OpenAI, recognized globally for helping organizations apply AI to solve real-world challenges.

Peter Mallouk, CEO of Creative Planning, one of the nation's top financial advisors, frequent media commentator, and cohost of the Down the Middle podcast.

In addition to keynote sessions, FarmCon will offer deep-dive panels on market forecasts, emerging ag technologies, investment strategies, and new business models. Plans are also underway for a live event where ag-tech startups can pitch directly to investors ready to fund promising ideas.

We're grateful to collaborate with Kevin and team on this already world-class event," said Cam Camfield, CEO of Stratovation Group. "Given our passion for helping U.S. farmers win, driving ag innovation, and serving as a connecter in the industry, this partnership will serve as an ag innovation pipeline that advances all aspects of the industry. FarmCon 2026 is going to be bigger and better than ever. We will harness our research, marketing and communications capabilities to give the event another significant boost as we serve sponsors and attendees."
