One of the top reasons that attendees visit trade shows is to see new products first hand, all in one place. They won’t be disappointed at the upcoming AG CONNECT Expo, which features a New Products & Technologies Program designed to help attendees more easily find new and innovative products on the show floor -- as well as pre-show. The online program already has more than 100 participants.

AG CONNECT Expo will be held January 13-15, 2010 (Preview Day January 12 by special admission) at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Florida. This new global agriculture show is managed and owned by the Association of Equipment Manufacturers (AEM) and will be a gathering place for those who advocate for and support production agriculture.

AG CONNECT Expo 2010 will showcase the latest innovations, products, services and technology in all agriculture sectors. Attendees can visit the New Products & Technologies Program online prior to the show and flag the companies they want to see, using the interactive My Show Planner. The AG CONNECT Expo show planner includes the show floor plan and a listing of all exhibitors, searchable by exhibitor name and product. The onsite print show directory will spotlight the complete list of New Products & Technologies Program participants, and each booth will have a special sign.

“We know attendees' time is valuable, and this is just one more way we help them organize their show visit to see and do as much as possible onsite,” stated Sara Truesdale Mooney, show director for AG CONNECT Expo.

In addition to exhibits, attendees can take advantage of a myriad of education opportunities at AG CONNECT Expo, and they can pencil in "must attend" education sessions and tours using the My Show Planner. Networking with industry experts is also a key benefit of attending the show, and attendees can add appointments and meetings to further customize their show planner itinerary.
