Use the Spring Conference Schedule to Plan Your Travel
Many Association members have registered for the 2015 Spring Conference & Supplier Showcase, which we will hold March 18-21 in beautiful Charlotte, NC. To help you plan your trip, here are some highlights you may wish to place on your calendar:
The plant tours can accommodate a finite number of people, and spots are filling up quickly, so if you want to participate, we encourage you to sign up sooner rather than later.
The Supplier Show-case also is a hot ticket, with more than half of the available booths already sold. Supplier companies who want to exhibit should register and reserve their space today.
We are excited to offer the NASCAR Experience on Saturday afternoon. All registered attendees and guests are welcome to wind down the week with this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. There is no addition fee to participate—your admission is included with your conference registration.
To see the complete executive program and read more about the speakers, plant tours, Welcome Reception, Supplier Showcase and other features of this year’s Spring Conference, visit FarmEquip.org/SC. You can also register for the conference, reserve your hotel room and sign up for the golf tournament, trap shoot and guest program at this site. Register before Feb. 5 to save with our Early Registration discounts.
