THE RIGHT BUYERS INCLUDE:
Key food processing industry professionals from across the Northwest, the United States, and around the world attend Expo. The event attracts a diverse range of  professionals including CEO’s, plant managers, purchasing managers, production and quality assurance managers, engineers, and sales/marketing managers as well as mechanics on the production floor. They come to attend industry relevant conference sessions and to see and experience the latest technology, systems and related information that can improve their operations. Attendees gain valuable ideas and insights from face-to-face contact with representatives from the world’s leading equipment and service providers in the SOLUTIONS Marketplace.
Our past exhibitors say it best:
Expo gives us a chance to get in front of potential buyers in the packer processor industry.
As usual, all of the convention people were outstanding and very helpful. We did get leads and the show was worth the effort both on your side and ours. It has been a good place to meet with a group that normally would not be together.
It is the lowest cost to see the most people in the shortest amount of time and good for our sales team to work together.
We attend Expo to find new unidentified customers. It is an effective means of seeing a lot of existing customers all in one short period of time.
