AG CONNECT 2013 Reports Record Exhibit Space Sales, Announces New Name

4/26/2012 - AG CONNECT 2013 continues to gather momentum: The show floor is already the largest in its history, with record exhibit space sales. The show name is now AG CONNECT Expo & Summit to reflect the full scope of the show experience.

Attendees will find new ideas to lead, grow and transform their operations through new technologies, education, and networking and dialogue among all show participants. AG CONNECT Expo & Summit 2013 is set for January 29-31, 2013 in Kansas City, Missouri at the Kansas City Convention Center.

Record Exhibit Space Sales - World-Class Environment
The show is attracting both new and returning exhibitors (with many returnees increasing their space from the last AG CONNECT). They want to take advantage of the opportunity to reach top producers and other quality buyers in a world-class exhibition environment.

Show management notes that a key factor for the very positive uptick in exhibit sales is AG CONNECT's comprehensive registration process. It provides real data to help connect exhibitors and attendees pre- and post-show as well as onsite and offers measurable event ROI. Exhibitors also have access to complimentary show marketing tools to generate interest in their products, engage customers and promote their brand.

Quality Show Experience Offers New and Proven Practices for Future Growth
Through their AG CONNECT 2013 show experience, attendees will have the opportunity to interact with senior executives, industry experts and other growth-oriented producers, discovering ways to improve their current operations and position them for future growth.

In the months leading up to AG CONNECT 2013, a new campaign will also provide producers and other agribusiness professionals with a platform to connect with one another and learn about new and proven practices that have contributed to their success.

"AG CONNECT Expo & Summit 2013 will be the agricultural gathering place next year in Kansas City. We'll have the newest products and the newest ideas for serious producers who want forward-thinking and actionable information to take back to their businesses," stated Show Director Sara Truesdale Mooney.

2013 Kansas City Location; Housing Open
Mooney noted that AG CONNECT Expo has a producer satisfaction rating of over 92 percent among past attendees. She explained that the 2013 location of Kansas City, Missouri for AG CONNECT is part of the show's plan to vary location at least for the next few cycles to allow as many producers as possible to experience first-hand the value of the exposition.

The Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) is show owner and producer; it operates all its trade shows for the benefit of participants and has a reputation of delivering measurable value. The show exhibit space rate includes a package plan of booth-related services, including material handling and daily booth cleaning.

AG CONNECT has raised the bar for ag events, drawing a national and international audience of industry professionals with the combination of first-class exhibits, conference-caliber education and high-level networking opportunities.
