SPECIAL CATEGORIES YOU CAN ENTER AT THE SHOW
The Manitoba Ag Days Innovation Showcase
INNOVATION SHOWCASE
Manitoba Ag Days is a premier agricultural trade show with success attributed to keeping the show current, relevant and informative. Exhibitors displaying new technology, innovations or products should be recognized for their contributions to our industry. Manitoba Ag Days would like to promote and feature these advancements as enhancements to our show and ultimately the producers who use them on their farming operations. We hope exhibitors will want to launch their new innovations at Canada’s Largest Indoor Farm Show. Exhibitors may opt to pay a fee of $500 to participate in this feature (in addition to their regular display fees). Manitoba Ag Days will provide the exhibitor with Signage to be used at the show which will include the year and the Ag Days logo. Exhibitors participating in this feature will also receive a special 1/4 page listing in the show guide as well as on the Manitoba Ag Days website. Media really enjoys featuring this feature of our show and we love to showcase new innovations. All entries that qualify will be considered for judging for the Best Innovation in each category!
In order to qualify for this feature the new innovation must be approved by Manitoba Ag Days Innovation Committee. To participate exhibitors will need to check the appropriate area on the exhibitor entry form during registration and submit their payment by the payment deadline. A description and picture of the innovation must accompany the entry form. To qualify the product must be unique and new to the Manitoba market. A priority will be placed on innovations that are unique or significantly different from products that are currently available in the marketplace. We will only be accepting a maximum of 36 entries into the Innovation Program in 2024. Manitoba Ag Days will make the final determination as to which products qualify for the Innovation Showcase Feature. The entry fee will be refunded if the product fails to qualify.
