2008 Information
The centerpiece of the Ohio Beef Expo has always been the extensive trade show and this year will be no exception. The Ohio Cattlemen's Association extends an invitation to you to participate in the Ohio Beef Expo Trade Show to be held March 14-16, 2008.

 

The Ohio Beef Expo Trade Show is the perfect opportunity to showcase your company and products to Ohio’s cattle producers; who produce approximately 1.22 million head of cattle per year. Over 25,000 visitors came to the 2006 Ohio Beef Expo from 20 states and Canada. 

 

The George V. Voinovich Livestock & Trade Center provides an excellent setting for the trade show, complete with climate control, excellent lighting and extra security. In addition, outdoor trade show space will be offered again. These are just a few of the benefits that bring repeat exhibitors back to the Ohio Beef Expo year after year.

 

The trade show will continue into Sunday, March 16, again this year.

Booth Selection
Exhibitors have the opportunity to indicate three choices for booth assignment.

If exhibitors request different locations than were selected the previous year and the space is not requested by the prior occupant, priority will first be given to repeat exhibitors and then on a first come basis. After January 2, 2008, priority will be given according to the date the contract with payment was received in the OCA office.

Trade Show Premier Booth Awards
The judging for the trade show premier booth exhibits is Friday morning. The outstanding booth winner in the two categories, 10' x 10' and 10' x 20' and larger, will receive banners and an Ohio Cattleman magazine discount advertising coupon. This coupon is worth one-half off any size ad that is one-half page or less. 

 

***NEW FOR 2008***EDUCATIONAL SEMINARS***

 

 The Ohio Beef Expo is offering Trade Show exhibitors the opportunity to provide Educational Seminars to event attendees.  These seminars will take place all day on Friday and Sunday morning in the sale rings located at the south end of the Trade Show. There will be 1 to 1.5 hour long spots available where you can bring in industry experts to discuss ways to make attendees’ operations more profitable. Since this is the first year for these Educational Seminars, the Ohio Beef Expo will not be charging for this opportunity; however, they are requesting that you place an ad in the Ohio Cattleman magazine advertising your seminar. The schedule of the seminars will be listed in the Official Expo Program and on the OBE Web site for free. Please contact Jamie at the OCA office (jking@ohiobeef.org or 614-873-6736) to schedule your company’s seminar and to take advantage of this great opportunity as these will be available on a first come, first served basis.
