Every January, Manitoba Ag Days lands in Brandon, MB, as a display of agricultural production, expertise, technology, and equipment. The three-day event attracts exhibitors and visitors from across Canada and the north-central United States and gives producers the opportunity to learn from the experts and to shop for everything they need for their agricultural operations.
The 44th edition of #MBAgDays is still on, January 18th-20th, but it will be virtual. This year’s event will be substantially more subdued; in the past, it’s welcomed over 550 exhibitors encompassing all 540,000 square feet of the Keystone Centre in Brandon – making it Canada’s largest indoor farm show.
With no showcase for businesses to launch their products, Ag Days has moved virtually for 2021 and developed a promotions plan called the Innovation Showcase. They have created seven categories that companies can enter, whether a new product, item, service, or invention. They will provide their patrons with the information they need through their website Agdays.com, print publications, and on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Instagram).
