As the agricultural industry continues to evolve, so too must the strategies and tools that dealers use to sell and service precision farming technology. The Precision Farming Dealer Summit, now in its 11th year, offers a unique opportunity for dealers to gain insights, exchange ideas, and refine their approaches to this rapidly changing market. With the event just nine weeks away, registrations are already pacing more than 50% ahead of last year, indicating a strong interest in the knowledge and networking opportunities it provides.
The Summit, organized by the editors of Farm Equipment and Precision Farming Dealer, along with the Dealership of the Year Alumni, is designed to be a dealer-only meeting. This focus ensures that the content and discussions are tailored to the specific needs and challenges faced by dealers in the precision farming space. The event is not just another conference; it’s a carefully curated gathering that fosters a sense of community and collaboration among attendees.
One of the key aspects that sets the Precision Farming Dealer Summit apart is its emphasis on contribution over consumption. Attendees are encouraged to share their experiences, insights, and best practices, creating a dynamic and interactive learning environment. This collaborative approach has been a hallmark of the event since its inception and is a significant factor in its continued success.
The Summit’s size is also a critical component of its effectiveness. By limiting attendance, the organizers ensure that every participant has the opportunity to network, build relationships, and engage in meaningful discussions. This intimate setting aligns with sociological principles that highlight the optimal size for human interaction, making it easier for attendees to find their people and establish connections that can last throughout their careers.
For those considering attending, the Summit offers a chance to gain actionable insights, expand their peer network, and meet new friends. The event’s central location in St. Louis and its schedule, starting on Monday afternoon, January 6, make it accessible for dealers from across the country. Even travel time can be put to good use, providing an opportunity for reflection and preparation.
The value of the Summit is evident in the record pace of registrations, with many attendees being veterans of previous events. For those new to the Summit, now is the time to take a closer look, mark their calendars, and commit to attending. The investment in time and cost is a small price to pay for the connections, knowledge, and tools that can help dealers and their customers thrive in the ever-evolving precision farming market.
Early bird discounts are available for those who register by November 14, 2025, providing an additional incentive to secure their spot at this premier event. As the agricultural industry continues to advance, the Precision Farming Dealer Summit remains a vital resource for dealers looking to stay ahead of the curve and deliver the best possible service to their customers.
