Citrus and specialty crop producers from across the Southeast can register for the upcoming Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo, scheduled for Aug. 20-21 at the Florida State Fairgrounds in Tampa, Florida.
The two-day event especially appeals to growers and industry leaders in Florida, South Georgia and South Alabama.
Morgan Cole, Expo show organizer for AgNet Media, talked about this year’s event.
“Registration is open online at citrusexpo.net/register/. Growers can register for free. You’ll get complimentary meals, seminar sessions, and there’s about 150 exhibitors so there’s a super exciting tradeshow floor,” Cole said. “Growers from all over the country are coming. From all over the world we have growers coming to visit our show. We’re super excited for that.”
The Florida State Fairgrounds are located at 4800 US-301, Tampa, Florida 33610.
Registration benefits include access to citrus and specialty crop seminar sessions; entry to the trade show; complimentary meals for both days; and eligibility for exclusive giveaways and prizes.
All attendees at the Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo will have a chance to win a custom-built BBQ smoker, generously donated by Hays-LTI. Raffle tickets will be available for purchase during the event, and all proceeds will go to support Florida FFA, helping invest in the next generation of agricultural leaders.
