Agenda

Sponsored by: The Land Report & AgAmerica

In conjunction with The Land Report, the Land Investment Expo will host a social function at the historic World Food Prize Hall of Laureates, featuring beverages, hors d’oeuvres, and an opportunity to meet and network with Land Expo attendees, sponsors, and speakers.

This magnificent building on the banks of the river is a tribute to Nobel Peace Prize winner Dr. Norman Borlaug, a native Iowan. The building compliments our Expo as it serves as a celebratory hall to recognize achievements and advances in global food security and sustainability in agriculture.
