*Propagate Experience

In a timeframe of less than 10 minutes, a company presents its innovation/product via a carrousel principle. Every company can show a 90 seconds video and will be interviewed for approximately 7 minutes. The goal of Propagate Experience is offering participants knowledge of (new) innovations/products that deliver (major) benefits for the user. Therefore, the emphasis of the presentations will be on the benefits of the user. To guarantee this, we ask for a customer reference.

During Propagate Academy (08:30 - 13:00) we provide practical, hands-on information on how to improve your propagation in the form of masterclasses. This is your chance to follow highly qualified, interactive masterclasses with a lot of opportunities for your input and questions for only €100 (ex VAT)! 

 

The goal of Propagate Academy is to deliver hands-on, directly useable information to propagators to improve your plant quality tomorrow. Where the first day of Propagate! is mainly focused on providing information to the strategic level, Propagate Academy focuses more on the tactical/practical level, delivering in-depth, practical information to the propagation specialists, which they can directly apply in the greenhouse.

 

What do we offer you?

  • In-depth, practical information from cultivation specialists on how to improve your propagation
  • Small, classroom-like groups with lots of opportunities for discussion and feedback
  • Opportunity to ask company-related propagation questions


To ensure that participants can interact with their instructors during the masterclasses, there will be only 60 spots available. From the three masterclasses mentioned below, you will be able to choose two.

  • Masterclass energy screensPaul Arkestijn (Climate Consultant Ludvig Svensson)
  • Masterclass checking growth points and the first cluster in tomato—Steven Groot  (International Seed Academy)
  • Masterclass rootstocks & grafting Jessica Marcinov (Grafting Specialist Roelands Plant)
