If you're looking for the perfect venue to reach hundreds of the ag industry's top writers, editors, photographers and publishers, then please join us for the tenth annual Agricultural Media Summit in Tampa, Florida, July 26-30, 2008. We invite you to participate as a sponsor or an exhibitor at our InfoExpo (or both!) and be part of this important agricultural media event.

The Agricultural Media Summit is the joint meeting of the American Agricultural Editors' Association, the Livestock Publications Council and the ABM Agri Council. This industry-wide gathering of agricultural communicators offers on of the best opportunities for professional development and industry networking.

More than 600 attend this event annually. The InfoExpo annually exceeds 70 booths.

This Web site outlines opportunities to participate as a sponsor and/or exhibitor at our annual InfoExpo Tradeshow. During the InfoExpo, sponsors and exhibitors have a forum for highlighting what's new and build important relationships with industry professionals. Space is limited so reserve yours as soon as possible.

With certain sponsorship packages InfoExpo booth space is included along with complimentary registration for up to three attendees.

Sponsorship Guidelines

Throughout the entire event, we'll provide sponsors continuous group recognition through appropriate banners, signage and podium announcements.

Why should you participate in the Ag Media Summit

From an exhibitor:

"We accomplished what we set out to do. People were very receptive and interested in hearing about our product and the fact that they wanted to learn was very refreshing."

From a sponsor:

"Certainly there is the opportunity to tell the message about my company to the editors in attendance. But maybe of greater importance, it is an opportunity for me to show my support and appreciation for some of the most professional and dedicated men and women I've ever known...the writers and editors who bring the news of agriculture to farmers, ranchers and me."

From an editor:

"I like the opportunity to talk to exhibitors in a setting that is devoted soley to journalists, versus a farm show where exhibitors are talking to farmers, too (and are much more distracted)."
