Annual Convention Brings the Global Sprout Industry Together with the CEA Community For Expanded Networking, Education & Innovation

LAS VEGAS (September 4, 2026 ) — Building on the successful 2025 partnership, Indoor Ag-Con, the premier trade show and conference for controlled environment agriculture (CEA), is pleased to announce that the International Sprout Growers Association (ISGA) will once again co-locate its Annual Convention with Indoor Ag-Con's upcoming edition, February 11-12, 2026, at the Westgate Las Vegas Resort & Casino.

The 2025 collaboration united sprout and microgreen growers, greenhouse operators, vertical farmers, CEA innovators, researchers, suppliers, and other industry leaders from around the world for two days of networking, education, and dealmaking. The 2026 return promises to expand on that success — offering ISGA members full access to Indoor Ag-Con's show floor, educational sessions, and networking events, while Indoor Ag-Con attendees can tap into ISGA's specialized sprout-focused programming.

• Keynote: Frank Yiannas — Former Deputy Commissioner for Food at the U.S. FDA and food safety leader for Disney and Walmart—sharing strategies to foster a culture of safety, innovation, and excellence.
• Dr. Kathleen Liang — W.K. Kellogg Distinguished Professor of Sustainable Agriculture—diving into The Future of Sprouts, nature's healthiest food, and inspiring new ways to integrate sprouts into diets worldwide.
• Additional sessions packed with industry insights, history, and innovation in indoor agriculture—coming soon.

"Indoor Ag-Con is thrilled to welcome ISGA back for our 2026 event," said Brian Sullivan, CEO, Indoor Ag-Con.
