What are the major agricultural robotics conferences?

Key ag robotics events include FIRA (Forum International de la Robotique Agricole) in Europe and FIRA USA in North America, the World Agri-Tech Innovation Summit and related regional summits, InfoAg and precision-ag focused programs, plus robotics-heavy tracks at broad ag shows such as World Ag Expo, Agritechnica, SIMA, and Commodity Classic. The mix shifts each season—use the AgRoboNews calendar and alerts to watch dates and registration windows.

Where can I see agricultural robots demonstrated in the field?

Manufacturer field days offer live demonstrations of ag robots in real field conditions—often row crops, orchards, vineyards, or specialty settings matched to the platform. OEMs, dealers, and independent demo farms also run seasonal trials, harvest-window showcases, and extension-backed field events. Filter the calendar for field days and regional demos, and confirm registration or grower-only access rules before you travel.

Ag Robotics Events Calendar

The agricultural robotics industry still moves hand-in-hand with the event circuit: field days where machines prove themselves in real soil, conferences where buyers compare stacks, trade halls where OEMs launch new lines, and university-led trials that set the research agenda.

AgRoboNews Events is a single calendar for conferences, manufacturer field days, academic symposiums, major trade shows, investor showcases, and regional demo programs—so you can plan travel, demos, and partnership conversations in one place.

What we categorize

Field days & demonstrations: manufacturer-hosted and independent events with robots running in live field conditions.
Industry conferences: including programs such as FIRA, World Agri-Tech, Ag Innovation Showcase, and InfoAg where robotics sessions anchor the week.
Trade shows: large exhibitions—for example Agritechnica, SIMA, World Ag Expo, and Commodity Classic—where ag robotics sits alongside machinery and inputs.
Academic & research: university symposiums, consortium meetings, and field-trial open days.
Regional & local: state or county events, extension demonstrations, and grower-association meetings with a robotics or autonomy focus.

How to use this calendar

Full filtering (event type, region, date range, and ag robotics category—e.g. weeding, spraying, harvest, drones, dairy) will ship with the next iteration of this hub. Until then, browse curated highlights below and use alerts to tell us what to prioritize.

Each published listing is intended to carry dates, location, registration links, notable exhibitors or sponsors where relevant, and short AgRoboNews editorial notes so you know why an event matters for robotics buyers and builders—not generic tourism copy.
