Real Experience. Real Operations. Real Conversations.
Drone technology looks impressive in a demonstration.
But what happens when it goes to work?
At Niagara Drone Summit 2026, we want to hear from the people actually working with agriculture and drone technology — growers, operators, agronomists, researchers, service providers and industry professionals.
What worked? What didn’t? What would they do differently?
Beyond the sales pitch. Real experience from the field.
