This afternoon, the National Potato Council issued the following statement concerning Potato Expo 2021:
In light of ongoing developments with COVID-19 and after thoughtful discussions with the Executive Committee and supporting companies, and through feedback via attendee surveys, NPC has decided to hold the Potato Expo 2021 as a Virtual Experience, held exclusively online. The show will take place on Tues., Jan. 5 through Thurs., Jan. 7, 2021. We believe this is the safest approach for the well-being of our attendees, along with their families, farms, and colleagues.
We’ve reimagined the design of the Potato Expo 2021 so in this exclusively virtual format it continues to be the place where the potato community can COME TOGETHER, RIGHT NOW. OVER POTATOES!
We are excited about the opportunities a virtual event offers in providing insights into new technology and innovation in the potato industry and facilitate the engagement and connections the Potato Expo is known for. Attendees will hear from leaders, connect with peers, and explore business solutions to address unique challenges, and prepare their organization for a new level of success.
Networking is a cornerstone of the Potato Expo and attendees will be able to partake in interactive and engaging experiences through a dynamic virtual conference platform. In addition, an interactive exhibit hall will allow exhibitors to showcase their products and services and connect with attendees, all while from the comfort and safety of their home or office.
The conference agenda will now be spread out over three tight days to ensure that content is delivered in more digestible segments. Best of all, sessions will be easily accessible on-demand for conference attendees to view at their own convenience through the end of March.
Registration opens Mon., Nov. 2. Visit potato-expo.com or email questions@potato-expo.com if you have questions about attending, or exhibit@potato-expo.com with questions on exhibiting or sponsoring.
