World
Ag Expo
will be
an online
event
Contributed
For the first time in the show's history, the 2021 World Ag Expo in Tulare next month will be an online event.
“A digital show is not a replacement for a live event like World Ag Ex- po,” said Jerry Sinift, In- ternational Agri-Center CEO. “But the ag indus- try has never stopped working, and neither will we. Ag is essential andsoisourjobasa trade show to bring buy- ers and sellers together. We’re just going to do it a little bit differently in 2021.”
While most digital trade shows have lim- ited their online show to their traditional dates, the World Ag Expo team is taking a year-long ap- proach.
“Instead of just a one-week show, we will be supporting our ex- hibitors and the online site throughout 2021,” said Jennifer Fawkes, International Agri-Cen- ter marketing manager. “Each exhibitor has a micro-site within the show to share informa- tion 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.”
