March 4, 2020 by National Pork Producers Council
Join more than 20,000 industry professionals and supporters at a pork-focused trade show hosted June 3-5 in Des Moines.
Registration is now open for the 2020 World Pork Expo presented by the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC). Attendees, media and exhibitors can complete their registration by visiting the World Pork Expo website. This year’s trade show will be hosted from June 3 to 5 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
“We are thrilled to continue the tradition of the World Pork Expo this year,” said David Herring, NPPC president, and pork producer from Lillington, N.C. “There’s truly something for everyone at the Expo – from the trade show to networking. Anyone in the pork industry is encouraged to attend!”
With 360,000 square feet of exhibition space, more than 500 exhibitors are planned for the 2020 World Pork Expo.
Indoor and Outdoor Trade Show Space
Organizers plan to take advantage of all the space available in order to give attendees and exhibitors the best experience possible. The more than 500 companies attending the show will be displaying products and services from animal health, nutrition, build and equipment, financial marketing, genetics and more.
The Expo will be held in the Varied Industries Building and the Jacobson Exhibition Center, outdoors on Grand Avenue and the areas between the two main buildings. Attendees are encouraged to explore the fairground space to experience all the Expo’s offerings.
“We’re currently making adjustments around the show to maximize the flow of the entire trade show. This will help with show continuity for years to come,” said Doug Fricke, director of trade show marketing for NPCC.
Company-sponsored hospitality tents will continue to be around throughout the fairgrounds. Organizers are expecting more than 60 tents this year, giving industry representatives an opportunity to network with producers and employees in a more relaxed setting.
The trade show will be open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on June 3 and 4, and 8 a.m. to 1 p.m. on June 5.
