The inaugural Ag Equipment Intelligence Executive Summit, a first-ever peer learning and networking event diving into ag machinery market intelligence, brought together all corners of the ag machinery industry — dealers, distributors, manufacturers, lenders and suppliers. Diverse audience groups that rarely if ever have been equally invited to a seat at the table. The Summit brought all the stakeholders together to provide a holistic view of what’s impacting the ag machinery market and what could change it over the next 12 months.  

The executives gathering in Chicago represented $32.2 billion in annual sales and the oversight of more than 24,000 employees. Through short presentations, as well as informal discussions and networking, attendees discussed the factors impacting the ag industry, the used equipment marketplace and the future of autonomy (see p. 61).
