The Trade Show is open to attendees on Friday from 10:00 AM – 6:00 PM and on Saturday from 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM. Food Service (hot and cold meals, snacks and soft drinks) is available in the Trade Show area so no need to leave the building for lunch or breaks.

EDUCATIONAL SESSIONS

There are special production and marketing sessions targeted for each of the sponsoring commodity organizations. During the two day program, over 60 hours of production training, pest management information and marketing updates are offered to attendees. In addition, agricultural scientists will present results of their studies in posters for your review. All educational sessions will be held at the Savannah International Trade Convention Center at the corner of Liberty and Montgomery Streets.

In addition to the commodity production sessions, special Good Agricultural Practices (GAP) Food Safety Workshop, Organic Production and Roadside Markets workshops will be held.

The educational program is tailored to provide what you need to know to be competitive in today’s market.
