The California Agave Symposium will take place in March 2026 in Santa Barbara, bringing together growers, distillers, researchers, and industry professionals focused on the development of agave as a specialty crop in California.

Hosted by the California Agave Council, the symposium serves as a forum for education and collaboration across the agave supply chain. Programming typically includes discussions on cultivation practices, varietal selection, climate considerations, research findings, distillation, regulatory issues, and emerging market opportunities for California-grown agave.

As interest in alternative crops and value-added production continues to expand, the California Agave Symposium offers timely insight into one of the state’s most rapidly evolving agricultural sectors.
