Exhibitors

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

General Ag, Inside Exhibit Spaces

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 southeast section of the showgrounds. 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 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.

4 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: We do not sell or share our lists, so no outside company has a “list of registered participants.” 
• MISSPELLINGS AND ODD GRAMMAR: Many spam emails come from foreign countries and often have misspellings, odd grammar, and use words that are uncommon in the U.S.
• 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 sponsorship@farmshow.org.

Final Payment

Returning exhibitors must make their final payment by October 31, 2024. If final payment is not received by October 31, 2024, 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 Requirements

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®.

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®.

If you do not have coverage, it can be purchased through ACT Insurance.

*ACT Insurance does not accept international payments. For assistance with completing your purchase, please reach out to us at waesales@farmshow.org.

Badges

Badges are required to access the grounds starting January 27, 2025, no exceptions. Exhibitors are required to have submitted valid insurance for their booth, before they are provided badges.

• Maximum of 10 badges for 10’ x 10’ spaces
• Maximum of 20 badges for spaces larger than 10’ x 10’

Badge requests will not be fulfilled until a valid insurance certificate is on file and payment is received in full. Please note: badges cannot be customized. They will be printed with “EXHIBITOR” only.

Any exhibits removed before 4:00 p.m. on February 13, 2025, will be subject to the loss of booth space for the 2025 World Ag Expo®.

Cancellation Policy

Exhibitor Cancellation: If written notice of cancellation is received before December 1, 2024, exhibitor shall forfeit 20% of total space fee and shall be entitled to an 80% maximum refund. Cancellation on December 1, 2024, and hereafter by exhibitor, shall result in forfeiture of the entire space fee. Exhibitor agrees that these charges are reasonably related to World Ag Expo® damages. By cancelling space, exhibitor loses all rights or claims to the space, and World Ag Expo® may rent it to others.

Show Cancellation if required due to COVID-19: If written notice of cancellation of the live event is provided by World Ag Expo® on or before November 30, 2024, World Ag Expo® shall retain 20% of the total space fee to be applied to the exhibitor’s presence in a digital show, and the exhibitor shall be entitled to an 80% maximum refund or rollover.

You can obtain your own daily license using the ABC button below, but must get a sign off by Tulare PD in person and deliver the form to Acohol & Beverage Control in Fresno, CA in person.);
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);
