WPVGA & UW Division of Extension Grower Education Conference & Industry Show 2027 (dates TBA)

The conference has been held at the Holiday Inn Convention Center in Stevens Point, Wisconsin.

Attendees include Wisconsin potato and vegetable growers, university researchers, and agriculture companies that exhibit booths and network with growers.

Agriculture companies serving Wisconsin's potato and vegetable growers exhibit booths to present products, technologies, and services alongside grower and researcher attendees.

It is most useful for Wisconsin potato and vegetable growers and the agriculture businesses serving them, since the conference pairs University of Wisconsin Extension education with an industry show, and the 2020 edition drew more than 400 registrants. Booth holders reported good traffic at the 2020 show, which suggests it suits regional suppliers well, while those outside potato and vegetable production or seeking a national show would get less from it.

Growers at winter farm shows in Wisconsin usually wear casual work-style clothing such as jeans, flannel or fleece, with warm outerwear and sturdy boots for February in Stevens Point.
