As part of its participation at the Summit, Aerobotics will be exhibiting and presenting to members of the agriculture and technology community.
"We believe 2019 is the year of aerial imagery in the agriculture industry. We are doing everything we can to grow our presence and spread the word about how our technology is helping tree and vine farmers around the world," said Tim Willis, Aerobotics CFO and head of growth.
