Is your company exhibiting?  If so, you may register in this category. 

Industry (Non-Exhibitor) Attendee: $300

Do you:

• work for a company that manufactures, produces, sells, distributes, buys, brokers, or has services related to fertilizer, pesticide, seed, feed, grain, or equipment products and your company is not exhibiting?
• plan on soliciting business, but don't want to register as an exhibitor?

Then you must register in this category.  Employees that fit this category who do not wish to register as an exhibitor may solicit business ONLY if registered as an Industry Non-Exhibitor.

 The Ag Expo Committee reserves the right to make the final determination as to who qualifies for what category of registration.

Roaming Exhibitor:  $300

Do you wish to solicit business at Ag Expo?  Then you can register in this category, or you can sign up for a booth.  Roaming exhibitors do not have an exhibitor table but may solicit business at Ag Expo.  Companies registered as roaming exhibitors will be listed in the program's exhibitor list.  The rules for exhibitor (aside from booth specifications) also apply to all roaming exhibitor registrants-please carefully review this information.

Student Attendee: Complimentary

High school, tech school or college students may attend Ag Expo for no fee, but this must be pre-arranged through the school.
 

Solicitors not Registering as Exhibitors

The SDABA and SDGFA host the Ag Expo as a convenience for companies wishing to solicit business. Every individual or firm that engages in solicitation or recruiting during Ag Expo must register as an exhibitor and pay an exhibitor fee. Solicitation and recruiting are defined as conducting any of the following activities anywhere on the conference hotel property, lobby, hallways, and meeting rooms or in the exhibit hall:

1. Distributing literature, brochures, corporate name/logo items or electronic media promoting a company, or its products or services.
2. Wearing or carrying any button, badge or sign promoting a company, or its products or services (logo apparel is normally acceptable but the Ag Expo Committee reserves the right to determine acceptability).
3. Verbally prospecting for buyers of a company's products or services; verbally making a sales pitch or proposal that promotes a company, its products or services.

It is the policy of Ag Expo to treat a company as an exhibitor if they have ever been an exhibitor at a previous Ag Expo's. Other companies will be considered exhibitors by the nature of their business, their services and their clientele. The Ag Expo Committee reserves the right to make the final determination as to who qualifies as an exhibitor and will be assessed exhibitor fees.
