Exhibitors

General Ag

The largest portion of the grounds, and includes the majority of outside exhibit spaces and pavilions.

General Ag, Inside Exhibit Spaces

Pavilion A: General Agriculture Exhibits
Pavilion B: Irrigation and Water Exhibits
Corteva Agriscience Center: General Agriculture, Agri-Chemical, Fertilizer, and Spray Exhibits
Career & Education Center: FFA, College, Career-Focused Exhibits

Ride & Drive

With more than 125,000 square feet of exhibit space within World Ag Expo’s® Ride & Drive areas, exhibitors are uniquely prepared to offer attendees the opportunity to test drive the latest truck, tractor, ATV, or preview the newest self-driving systems. Build a mountain, fill up a pond, or create an orchard to set up a “true to life” off-road course, or push around several tons of soil to demonstrate a new tractor’s capabilities. Anything is possible by reserving Ride & Drive space at World Ag Expo®.

Dairy

The Dairy area is home to more than 600 dairy spaces and is located in the south east section of the show grounds. This includes exhibits inside and outside of the Farm Credit Dairy Center. Outdoor dairy section spaces start at 20′ x 20′ and can be expanded by adding adjoining spaces.

The 76,000 square foot Farm Credit Dairy Center is the epicenter of the newest and most innovative technologies in the dairy industry. Exhibit spaces begin at 10′ x 10′ and can be expanded by adding additional adjacent spaces up to 20′ wide by 130′ long.

Space Shares

All participating exhibitors must register for the show by completing the online Request for Exhibit Space form. Spaces can be shared with the prior approval of World Ag Expo®. The name and information concerning the exhibitor that will share the space must be disclosed to World Ag Expo® for approval and so they can be listed in the Show Guide, online, and be recognized as an exhibitor.

BEWARE: Email List Solicitation Messages

Every day, unknown “data” companies send out emails offering access to trade show attendee lists and email addresses. We do not work with these spammers, have not sold our lists to them, and do not approve of their tactics in any way.If you choose to do business with them, we recommend you proceed with caution.

3 Ways to Identify a Scam Email

• EMAIL EXTENSION: We’ll only send you emails with the extension “@farmshow.org.” The email extension for our official World Ag Expo® advertising sales partner is “@mapyourshow.com.”
• FALSE CLAIMS: Attendees voluntarily registered for the 2022 online show. However, we do not sell or share this list, so no outside company has a “list of registered participants.” 
• INCORRECT BUSINESS PRACTICES: We have an attendee mailing list, but we DO NOT sell the list. You can pay to send a message to the list, but only by contacting marketing@farmshow.org.

Exhibitor Appointed Contractors

If you are using a contractor not listed in the Exhibitor Resource Directory, Exhibitor agrees to be solely responsible for ensuring their Exhibitor Appointed Contractor complies with all applicable laws, regulations, and/or rules promulgated by any government or regulatory agency including but not limited to worker’s compensation insurance requirements, business licenses, contactor’s licenses, state and federal workplace safety laws, OSHA requirements, etc. IAC and WAE take no responsibility for determining Exhibitor Appointed Contractor compliance with any such laws or regulations. Exhibitor agrees to indemnify and hold IAC and WAE and its officers, agents, employees, and assigns harmless for any and all actions of any Exhibitor Appointed Contractors, whether arising before or after completion of the work hereunder, or in any manner directly or indirectly caused, claimed, occasioned, or contributed to, by reason of any negligent or intentional act or omission of the Exhibitor Appointed Contractor.

Unofficial contractors must obtain a temporary worker pass. There is no cost for temporary worker passes. Prior to World Ag Expo®, temporary worker passes are available at the Exhibitor Registration Center (ERC) at Gate 6.

Final Payment

Returning exhibitors must make their final payment by October 31, 2022. If final payment is not received by October 31, 2022, World Ag Expo® reserves the right to cancel your exhibit space and assign it to the next exhibitor on the waitlist.

You can make your payment through your Exhibitor Dashboard.

Insurance

Submit certificate of insurance upon space approval to forms@farmshow.org. You may use your own insurance to provide coverage, or you may purchase the option offered through World Ag Expo®.

Insurance Requirements

If you already have compliant insurance, please forward your proof of insurance to forms@farmshow.org. If you do not have coverage, it can easily be purchased for $145.00 through Rain Protection.

International exhibitors purchasing RainProtection will need to use our address and phone number. Rain Protection will not accept an international address. 

Every exhibitor must provide IAC with proof of commercial general liability insurance coverage in the minimum amounts of $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 annual aggregate. Such insurance must designate IAC and its officers, directors, agents and employees as additional insureds, and such designation must be shown on the proof of insurance provided to IAC. The proof of insurance must show that the subject policy begins no later than two weeks prior to the opening of World Ag Expo® and shall remain in place until at least one week following the closing of World Ag Expo®. The proof of insurance must also indicate that, should the policy be cancelled prior to its stated expiration date, notice must be provided to IAC in accordance with the policy provisions, but in any case, no less than fifteen (15) days prior to the effective date of cancellation. Exhibitor must provide IAC with required proof of insurance upon booth approval or with the submission of the Request for Exhibit Space, whichever is later. Failure to provide such proof of insurance by such deadline may result, at IAC’s sole and absolute discretion, in exhibitor losing the ability to exhibit at World Ag Expo® and will result in the imposition of the cancellation fee described herein. If exhibitor’s policy is cancelled or terminates prior to World Ag Expo®, exhibitor must provide IAC with satisfactory proof of new or continued insurance within 15 days of such cancellation or termination, but in any event, no later than January 15 prior to World Ag Expo®. Failure to provide such proof of new or renewed insurance in a timely manner, may, at the sole and absolute discretion of IAC, result in the loss of exhibitor’s ability to exhibit at World Ag Expo® and in the imposition of the cancellation fee described herein.

The address for the certificate holder/ additional insured is listed below:

International Agri-Center®/World Ag Expo®
4500 S. Laspina St.
Tulare, CA 93274

IAC does not provide any form of insurance to cover exhibitor activities at World Ag Expo® and assumes no liability or responsibility for loss or damage to exhibitors due to fire, theft, breakage, vandalism, or any other reason. IAC recommends the exhibitor maintain their own insurance to cover any such potential loss or damage. Exhibitor shall maintain any required workers’ compensation insurance for its employees at World Ag Expo®.

3. World Ag Expo® Management must be given a copy of the Permit Holders License;
4. Alcohol must be served at NO charge and cannot be sold.
5. Service and consumption must be within a defined area (with a fence or pavilion);

Lighting that spins, rotates, pulsates or has other specialized lighting effects should be in good taste and not interfere with neighboring exhibitors or otherwise detract from the general atmosphere of the event.

Line of Sight

Display materials must not obstruct neighboring exhibitors’ line-of-sight. The maximum height is allowed only in the rear half of the booth space, with a four (4) foot height restriction imposed on all materials in the remaining space forward to the aisle.

Live Animals

Obtain written approval from World Ag Expo® Management before the showing of any demonstrations, live entertainment, or use of live animals.

Music, Noise & Vehicles

Noise from sound equipment in booths may not disrupt activities of neighboring exhibitors. Speakers and sound devices should be positioned to direct sound into the booth and not into the aisle. Sound and noise should not exceed 85 decibels when measured from the aisle immediately in front of a booth. Be aware that music played in booths, whether live or recorded, may be subject to laws governing the use of copyrighted compositions. ASCAP, BMI, and SESAC are authorized licensing organizations that collect copyright fees on behalf of composers and publishers of music. Display vehicles may not be started.

A tower is a free-standing exhibit component separate from the main exhibit fixture. The height restriction is the same as that which applies to the appropriate exhibit space configuration being used. Maximum allowed dimensions are two (2) feet x two (2) feet diameter/width but may go to the maximum height allowed for buildings/pavilions.

BEWARE: Email List Solicitation Messages

Every day, unknown “data” companies send out emails offering access to trade show attendee lists and email addresses. We do not work with these spammers, have not sold our lists to them, and do not approve of their tactics in any way.If you choose to do business with them, we recommend you proceed with caution.

3 Ways to Identify a Scam Email

• EMAIL EXTENSION: We’ll only send you emails with the extension “@farmshow.org.” The email extension for our official World Ag Expo® advertising sales partner is “@mapyourshow.com.”
• FALSE CLAIMS: Attendees voluntarily registered for the 2021 online show. However, we do not sell or share this list, so no outside company has a “list of registered participants.” 
• INCORRECT BUSINESS PRACTICES: We have an attendee mailing list, but we DO NOT sell the list. You can pay to send a message to the list, but only by contacting marketing@farmshow.org.
