2021 World Ag Expo庐 Goes Online
| Tulare, CA聽鈥 For the first time in show history, the 2021 World Ag Expo庐 will be an online event February 9-11. Officials at the International Agri-Center庐 announced the cancellation of the live event on聽, and spent the next month carefully weighing the implications of a digital show. 鈥淎 digital show is not a replacement for a live event like World Ag Expo,鈥 said Jerry Sinift, International Agri-Center庐 CEO. 鈥淏ut 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鈥檙e just going to do it a little bit differently in 2021.鈥 World Ag Expo庐 will work with聽, 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庐 team is taking a year-long approach. 鈥淚nstead of just a one-week show, we will be supporting our exhibitors and the online site throughout 2021,鈥 said Jennifer Fawkes, International Agri-Center庐 Marketing Manager. 鈥淓ach 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.
