Corporate executives from various corners of the agriculture industry will gather to share their ideas on the future at THRIVE AgTech Innovation Forum on Wednesday, Feb. 1, in Menlo Park, California. The event is a full day of keynote addresses, panel discussions and tech presentations for executives, investors, farmers and startups to discover the technologies that are changing the way we grow food today and will in the future.

Among the panelists are Taylor Farms CEO Bruce Taylor, Driscoll’s Berries CEO Kevin Murphy, and Frieda’s Specialty Produce President and CEO Karen Caplan. Taylor and Murphy will be on the “Catalyzing Industry Transformation” panel, and Caplan will be on the “Driving Innovation for the 21st Century Consumer” panel.

“Our goal by inviting these three produce leaders is to join together the great minds and innovators in the Silicon Valley with the great minds and innovators in the fresh produce industry,” sais John Hartnett, CEO of SVG Partners and founder of THRIVE. “We are thrilled that all three of them will be joining us for the day.”
