“A digital show is not a replacement for a live event like World Ag Expo,” said Jerry Sinift, International Agri-Center CEO. “But the ag industry has never stopped working, and neither will we.”

World Ag Expo will work with Map Your Show, which has executed more than 120 digital trade shows since March.

The event in February will kick off a year-long approach.

“Instead of just a one-week show, we will be supporting our exhibitors and the online site throughout 2021,” said marketing manager Jennifer Fawkes. “Each exhibitor has a micro-site within the show to share information and hold live chats, along with many other options.”

Attendees can access the content around the clock and participate in live sessions from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Pacific time on show dates.

The exhibitor guide will continue during this virtual year. Past attendees will receive one by mail. Others can pick up a guide at New Holland dealerships.

]]> 2021 World Ag Expo® Goes Online /news/2021-world-ag-expo-goes-online/ Fri, 20 Nov 2020 15:19:47 +0000 /?p=12144 Tulare, CA – For the first time in show history, the 2021 World Ag Expo® will be an online event February 9-11. Officials at the International Agri-Center® announced the cancellation of the live event on , and spent the next month carefully weighing the implications of a digital show.

“A digital show is not a replacement for a live event like World Ag Expo,“ said Jerry Sinift, International Agri-Center® CEO. “But the ag industry has never stopped working, and neither will we. Ag is essential and so is our job as a trade show to bring buyers and sellers together. We’re just going to do it a little bit differently in 2021.”

World Ag Expo® will work with , an industry leader in event and conference management software. The Map Your Show team has executed more than 120 digital trade shows since March.

While most digital trade shows have limited their online show to their traditional dates, the World Ag Expo® team is taking a year-long approach.
“Instead of just a one-week show, we will be supporting our exhibitors and the online site throughout 2021,” said Jennifer Fawkes, International Agri-Center® Marketing Manager. “Each exhibitor has a micro-site within the show to share information and hold live chats, along with many other options. These can be changed during the year. As organizers, we will have online seminars, the Top-10 New Products Contest, and more new content being released throughout the year.”

World Ag Expo® Online will kick off February 9-11, 2021 – the original show dates. Live events and seminars will be scheduled 9:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. PST each day, but content will be available on-demand at no charge to attendees around the clock.

Seminars will be presented online by exhibitors, California State University – Fresno, Irrigation Association, Center for International Trade Development, and many more. The schedule will be finalized in January and will be available for attendees to begin planning their viewing schedule.
One feature World Ag Expo® will carry over from the live show is the Exhibitor Guide.Ěý“Many of our attendees like to have a catalogue of the show to keep after World Ag Expo is over,” said Wally Roeben, International Agri-Center® Show Manager. “It’s a great resource and we’re excited to make it available nationwide.”

In 2021, the show will not be held live for the first time in World Ag Expo® history.

“After working with the Tulare County Health Department and other officials, it has become evident that given health and safety restrictions from the State of California, holding a live, international event is not responsible in February,” said Jerry Sinift, International Agri-Center® CEO.

The International Agri-Center® Board of Director’s decision to cancel the 2021 World Ag Expo® was not taken lightly, and comes after months of research and evaluation of future trends and known constraints. The decision was finalized earlier than the initial November deadline to provide exhibitors, attendees, volunteers, concessionaires, contractors, and local businesses time to adjust their Tulare farm show plans.

The cancellation of World Ag Expo® comes as another negative effect of COVID-19 for the International Agri-Center®, exhibitors, non-profit food vendors, attendees, area hotels, restaurants, and other associated businesses.

Attendees are encouraged to follow World Ag Expo® social media channels and watch their email inboxes for more information on World Ag Expo® projects throughout 2020 and 2021. They can join the World Ag Expo® email list to stay up-to-date at http://bit.ly/WAEupdates.
