The 2017 World Ag Expo is the largest annual agricultural show on the planet and it just so happens to be celebrating its 50th Anniversary.
The three day event takes place February 14–February 16, 2017, at the International Agri-Center (4500 South Laspina Street, Tulare, CA).
WHAT IS THE WORLD AG EXPO?
The goal of the World Ag Expo is simple: Encourage new conversations, inventions, and innovations in the ag world so producers and consumers lead better lives.
You’ll hear ag experts discussing their tips for improving efficiency and creating a more sustainable future. As they say, “Ag is evolving to feed a growing world. And we're here to help facilitate that.”
WHAT CAN ATTENDEES OF THE WORLD AG EXPO EXPECT?
Attendees will have the opportunity to take part in several events including:
Free Seminars
World Ag Expo seminar hosts explore a wide variety of topics with a multi-pronged approach so seasoned industry professionals and those greenest to the ag business will each find something of interest to check out.
Equipment Showcase at the World Ag Expo Arena
As our favorite part of the World Ag Expo, the Equipment Showcase is where you’ll find the latest in ag equipment innovation.
You’ll have a chance to speak one-on-one with your favorite ag equipment companies. Give them your honest feedback and hear about advances on the horizon to plan your future equipment upgrades.
