The 2007 Agri-Marketing ConferenceTrade Show Committe just met via conference call and we’re thinking big. It’s always a challenge trying to come up with a schedule and locations that will meet everyone’s needs and wants.

I’m wondering if any of you creative types who attend the Conference would offer your ideas about what we can do at the trade show to attract your and your peers to visit and spend time there. We want to kick the trade show off with a bang. It’s going to be in Dallas and you can see what the theme is.

What can we do to attract traffic into the NAMA trade show? Our next conference call is coming up in just 2 weeks so please forward me any ideas you might have.

It’s that time folks. Last Call for the Best of NAMA competition.

Today’s luncheon is a joint meeting of the Gateway NAMA chapter along with the St. Louis Ag Club.

Right before the NAFB Convention again this year is the NAMA Agribusiness Forum. It’s not too early to start making plans. This is going to be a challenge for me since opening day of Missouri deer season is the Saturday before the Forum. Normally I’d be in the woods through Tuesday so we’ll see what happens. Depends on how good the hunting is those first few days!

One NAMA chapter is sending out news releases. That’s how you know who’s who, eh? Tom is the prez so he gets his picture posted!

I’m ready to Think Big after being on a NAMA Convention Steering Committee conference call Monday. That’s the theme of next year’s conference.

I’m leading the Trade Show Committee and hope to have our first committee conference call soon. If you’re a regular exhibitor or have considered it, I’d love your thoughts and input.
