As members of the potato industry converge on The Marriott in Anaheim for the Potato Expo, attendees will find it pays to organize. A trade show of this size with all the accompanying events, requires a good plan in place. If you “wing it”, you may find yourself wandering aimlessly, wondering what to do next.
Here are the links you need:
Potato Expo trade show opens at 11:00 am on Wednesday, January 5, but if you are coming in early, be sure and attend the Potato Business Summit before that. It starts at 8:00 with a complimentary continental breakfast and ends right before the trade show opens at eleven. It is a worthwhile event, with a packed agenda. This event is usually standing room only, so it is a good idea to register.
After the Summit, head to the Potato Expo Trade Show. Here is where advance planning comes in. Know who you want to see before you get there and you will save yourself time and headaches. Find out which Potato Expo Exhibitors you want to see and make a plan with this handy Exhibitor Map.
