GEAPS
Exchange 2018 set a record for most exhibitors (452) last week while notching
the fourth highest attendance for the conference (2,918). Attendees came from
21 different countries. In addition to the trade show, the event featured
nearly 40 hours of education in a variety of formats.
GEAPS International President Barb Kraft, Landus Cooperative, Greater Iowa Chapter, has seen the show grow tremendously over the last couple years. Ms Kraft said it is great to see so many companies support GEAPS as the knowledge resource of the grain and processing industry.
“The conference was a great success,” Ms Kraft said. “There was a lot of great equipment, and vendors loved the space at the convention center. The feedback I have heard is the space was great, it wasn’t crowded, there was a lot to see and check out.”
Another record setting year in the expo hall
The Expo at Exchange 2018 set new records for the third consecutive year with 452 exhibitors in 290,000 square feet of exhibit space. GEAPS Associates Board President Cheryl Lansink, Comco, was one of the exhibitors, and noted the amount of equipment companies had on display in booths.
“I think the sheer amount of equipment and quality hands-on displays helps set GEAPS Exchange apart from other shows,” Ms Lansink said. “As an exhibitor, this show was very good for us. The floor plan is huge and we had a lot of quality traffic.”
