Now entering its 7th annual edition, the Vertical Farming World Congress is the only global event dedicated to advancing totally controlled environment agriculture expansion. Welcoming an exclusive audience of 90-125 key decision makers, the Congress serves as the principal business development forum for industry leaders in the vertical farming sector.

For those of you who cannot join us in London, we are pleased to offer Livestream access to this year’s industry-leading event.

As a livestream attendee, you can view all conference sessions and panel discussions both live and on-demand and engage in real-time interactive polling and speaker Q&A to ensure you’re a part of the conversation.

Attendees of the Vertical Farming World Congress 2026 will have the opportunity to visit London’s largest commercial indoor vertical farm - Harvest London’s ‘Plant Room’, located within Corner Corner in Canada Water, a vibrant destination for street food, cocktails and live jazz.

Operating from a converted industrial unit in East London, the company supplies leading restaurants and food businesses across the capital with ultra-fresh produce. Farming in a controlled environment enables them to provide their crops with the precise combination of light, water, nutrients and humidity required for them to thrive.

By developing a large-scale, hyper-local food system, the company is reshaping how fresh produce is grown and distributed in cities. Its model significantly reduces food miles, lowers transport-related carbon emissions, and strengthens the sustainability and resilience of London’s food supply.
