CEA Summit East returns to Virginia in 2025

The CEA Summit East will return to the Institute for Advanced Learning and Research in Danville, Virginia, on Sept. 9-10, 2025. Co-hosted by Indoor Ag-Con and the CEA Innovation Center, the event brings together professionals from across the indoor farming sector.

The 2025 edition will feature educational tracks covering skills in lighting, integrated pest management, food safety and environmental controls, as well as sessions focused on business operations and workforce development. A showcase highlighting industry case studies and academic research will also return.

The summit builds on the momentum of the 2024 event, which hosted attendees from 35 U.S. states and several international markets, including Canada and the Netherlands. Tabletop exhibits from suppliers such as Green Food Solutions, Priva, Pace 49, Atlas Greenhouse, Rimol Greenhouse Systems and SGS will showcase the latest technology in structures, testing, environmental controls and crop protection.

“CEA Summit East has become a key annual event for connecting the dots between industry and academia,” said Brian Sullivan, CEO of Indoor Ag-Con. “Whether you’re a grower, educator, researcher, supplier or policymaker, the 2025 summit offers a wonderful opportunity to learn, network and move the needle forward for controlled environment agriculture.”
