CONVENTION 2018 Sponsorship Opportunities November 3-5, 2018 Greater Columbus Convention Center, Columbus, Ohio
CONVENTION Now in its Fifth year, the Angus Convention is the industry-leading event hosted by the American Angus Association. It is defined by quality education seminars, a solution-oriented trade show, Certified Angus Beef meals, ample networking opportunities and the Annual Meeting of Delegates for the American Angus Association. The common tie of the Angus Convention participants is their personal commitment to quality beef advancement on all levels of the production chain from cow-calf producer to the commercial cattleman, and the feeder to the packer. These cattlemen and women are eager to explore the newest technology, discuss the latest ideas and insights, and share what s working for them. The trade show is an integral part of the Angus Convention and gives you the opportunity to see and be seen by a high concentration of individuals who make and/or influence farm and ranch buying decisions. Meals, refreshment breaks and receptions are scheduled in the trade show to maximize traffic and draw the people you want to meet.
