What Can You Expect at PhotoX?
PhotoX aims to move beyond the basic conversations that have become commonplace in the cannabis industry and focus on cutting-edge research, advanced technologies, and innovative strategies that established cultivators can assess for their own application. PhotoX will include presentations, panels, and group discussions. The final PhotoX 2025 agenda will be released closer to the event. Updates will be sent to registered attendees and will be posted on this website.

What is PhotoX?
PhotoX is a private event where the world’s leading horticulture scientists, technologists, and cannabis cultivators come together to share their research and experience, foster vital industry connections, and ultimately advance our collective understanding of the interaction between light and life.
Initially held in 2015, Fluence’s Photobiology Exchange Summit (PhotoX) was the first event of its kind to explore the science of commercial cannabis cultivation. The event quickly rose in prominence to become a must-attend event for the industry’s thought leaders from around the world.
Notable attendees include leading researchers in photobiology, sensory science, medicinal cannabis applications, facility design and engineering, and more.
We are thrilled to invite you to Fluence’s PhotoX Advanced Sciences Summit (PhotoX), taking place September 22-24, 2025, in Austin TX, home to Fluence's North American offices. As one of the foremost events in cannabis science and innovation, PhotoX provides an unparalleled opportunity for industry pioneers to learn the latest in cannabis cultivation research and science.

Why attend PhotoX?
PhotoX is an invitation-only forum designed for commercial cannabis cultivators looking for new strategies and science-based applications to keep them ahead of the competition. As its name implies, the PhotoX Advanced Sciences Summit is focused on cutting-edge research and innovation, a notch above the everyday conversations in the industry. The Summit’s intimate forum helps ensure all participants have ample opportunity to engage with the experts that have been assembled as well as their fellow attendees, all of whom are accomplished cultivators themselves.
