Leveraging Great Science to Accelerate Biological Adoption

Bringing global stakeholders together to support growers transition to a biological future

SAVE THE DATE: The 2026 Salinas Biological Summit will be back in Salinas. June 23-24, 2026.

The 2026 Salinas Biological Summit is slated to be the largest and most encompassing to-date. 

Coinciding with the 100th anniversary of Western Growers, the Summit will bring together stakeholders from around the world, keen to support growers transition to a biological future. Emerging scientific discovery is transforming the AgChem landscape. In June, we will be bringing these discoveries to Salinas to showcase just how far the biological sector has come.

With Platform10's California field trials already underway, there will be the opportunity to meet the growers and biopesticide companies looking to address some of the industry's key pest and disease challenges. The 2026 Summit will feature a Start-up Zone, optional field visits and as ever, a strong line-up of local and international speakers and experts.

Planning is underway. We will be updating the site regularly as the Summit Program develops.

Join the CAPCA Workshop - The Program

The 2025 Salinas Biological Summit is delighted to host a CAPCA workshop on Wednesday 25 June. The workshop has been curated to provide valuable insights to its participants

Apply to join the Start-up pitch events at the Summit

Given the number of really exciting start-ups competing for market recognition, the Summit has decided to provide a platform for 4 start-ups in the biopesticide & biostimulant space to pitch their product / service to the Summit audience.

Who is this summit for?

As regulators, and increasingly retailers, remove chemical pesticides from the grower's toolbox, the need to identify emerging biological and softer chemistry inputs becomes ever more important. Managing many pests and diseases will depend on this transition.

Given the urgency, the 2026 Salinas Biological Summit is being designed to address the needs of multiple stakeholders.

These include;

  • Growers
  • Agribusiness leaders
  • Startups and Entrepreneurs
  • University R&D laboratories
  • Government regulators
  • Corporate Innovation leaders
  • Banks/Financial Institutions, and
  • Investors

Over the coming weeks, we'll be publishing more details about both the Summit program and the keynote speakers to this website.
