The PTx specialist event for precision agriculture education, on January 20–23, 2026, in Tremont, IL USA, marks the first-ever conference under the PTx brand. The event encompasses both Precision Planting and PTx Trimble brands to feature technologies for water management, autonomy planting and spraying.

“The 2026 Winter Conference brings together innovators and experts to showcase the practical, innovative solutions that are transforming farming economics and empowering growers to achieve more with less,” said PTx President Brian Sorbe.

Hosted by PTx and featuring five different sessions presented by PTx employees, the conference delivers a comprehensive look at how modern agricultural technologies are transforming farming. Attendees will experience real-life applications of artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and mechanical advancements, including technology revealed each day of the event.

A highlight of the event will be exclusive insights from multi-year research at Precision Planting’s PTI Farm where nutrient management strategies have demonstrated measurable returns on fertilizer investments. Sessions focus on continued education, agronomic research and innovative products, especially retrofittable upgrades that require smaller investments but deliver significant return on investment (ROI).

Attendees will find practical solutions to everyday challenges, with hands-on learning in precision spraying, soil fertility management and planter technology. The collaborative environment fosters peer exchange of experiences of  innovations that drive yield and capital efficiency. Live demos and interactive sessions will showcase PTx’s retrofit strategy and data-driven automation.

After the PTx Winter Conference sessions on January 20 and 21, an interactive event will be hosted by Fendt. Attendees will witness PTx technology integrated in Fendt products, discover practical enhancements, learn about data-driven solutions powered by PTx FarmENGAGE software and receive expert guidance.
