NAAA eNewsletter - 07/16/2020

Booth sales opened July 9 for the 2020 NAAA Ag Aviation Expo in Savannah Dec. 7–10 with many companies purchasing booth space (and pre-purchasing large booth space). Ninety-three (93) companies have purchased exhibit space since sales opened; this is compared to 108 companies in 2017 and 103 companies in 2015, both held in Savannah, on the opening day of booth sales. Don’t fret if you still want to exhibit, there is plenty of booth space left! View pricing and availability here.

We are also happy to report that half of the room block is full in Savannah and in the “pulse check” survey, conducted in late May and early June to gauge how members are feeling about traveling to and attending the Ag Aviation Expo, 51% still definitely plan to attend the convention with 31% considering attending.

NAAA, the Savannah Convention Center, the hotels and our vendors are all taking steps to ensure a safe and healthy Ag Aviation Expo. While we are still several months away, you can view some of our procedures online.
