The Annual Land Investment Expo, presented by Peoples Company, is catered to individuals and institutions that are either currently investing in, or interested in learning more about investing in land. The Expo brings together varying facets of the land industry and provides knowledge, ideas and networking opportunities for land professionals and investors. 

The Expo features keynote addresses by industry experts in agricultural production, land development, rural economic development and farm policy. The Expo is moderated by Ken Root, host of the Agribusiness Report. Keynote speakers, workshop presenters and exhibitors are present and available throughout the day and during the afternoon social hour to answer individual questions.

The conference is a must-attend event for anyone with a vested interest in land, including ag managers, academics, policy experts, REITS’s, hedge funds, pension funds, endowments, family offices, land developers, investors and farm operators.
