World Ag Expo 2027 has opened applications for two of its most anticipated features, the Top-10 New Products competition and the show’s educational seminar series. The announcement, shared from Tulare, California, invites exhibitors and industry experts to shape the next event, set for February 9-11, 2027. Growers, ranchers and agribusiness professionals now have a clear path to participate, and the timeline gives them plenty of reason to act soon.
Why the Top-10 New Products Contest Matters
The Top-10 New Products competition offers a window into cutting-edge agricultural technology and innovation. Open to exhibitors, the contest highlights standout entries in a competitive field. Products range from groundbreaking technology to simple, practical solutions. Because the recognition draws attention from buyers and media alike, previous winners have described the contest as a catalyst for success.
Consider Stinger, a small family-owned business from Kansas. The company earned a spot among the 2026 Top-10 New Product winners, which opened doors to new exposure and customer connections. Its winning entry, the Stinger TerraFrame Max M120 Feed Chassis, is the first custom-designed off-road chassis built specifically for the commercial dairy and feedlot industry. “The Top-10 New Product recognition provided additional publicity, customer engagement, and valuable feedback,” said Justin Matlack, national sales manager.
How Exhibitors Can Apply for World Ag Expo 2027
Applicants must be exhibitors at the 2027 show, and eligible products must have been released anywhere in the world between Feb. 13, 2026, and Feb. 8, 2027. Therefore, companies with a recent launch have a strong opening. The application deadline is Oct. 31, 2026, and organizers will announce winners in December. As a result, businesses should review their product timelines now to confirm they qualify.
Seminars Expand Learning at World Ag Expo 2027
Beyond the innovation contest, World Ag Expo 2027 continues its commitment to education through free seminars. Included with general show admission, these sessions feature knowledgeable professionals across the industry. Each year, tracks cover Dairy and Livestock, Technology, Irrigation and Water, Demonstrations, and more. Consequently, attendees can build practical knowledge without an extra ticket.
The seminars run all three days in the Seminar Center on the southeast side of the grounds. Speakers include exhibitors, universities, government agencies and other experts. Their goal is straightforward: expand producer knowledge and improve on-farm practices. Meanwhile, the seminar application follows the same Oct. 31, 2026, deadline, and organizers will notify speakers in December. The final schedule and speaker details will appear online and in the official show app.
A Global Stage for Agriculture
World Ag Expo remains the largest annual outdoor ag tradeshow in the world. In 2026, the event welcomed more than 100,000 attendees from across the United States and 80 countries. Furthermore, over 1,200 exhibitors filled 2.6 million square feet of exhibit space. For many companies, that scale makes the show a premium platform for networking, education and business in one of the most productive ag counties in the country.
Limited exhibit spaces remain available, and international attendee ticket packages are on sale now. General admission and ag tour tickets go on sale Oct. 1. Because interest tends to build quickly, early planning helps both exhibitors and visitors secure a spot.
What This Means for the Industry
World Ag Expo 2027 is once again positioning itself as a proving ground for new ideas and a classroom for the wider farming community. The reopened applications give innovators a chance to earn recognition, while the seminar lineup promises fresh insight for producers. For exhibitors, the October deadline is the date to watch, since both the Top-10 contest and the seminar series close then. As the show approaches, growers and agribusiness leaders can expect World Ag Expo 2027 to spotlight the tools and knowledge shaping agriculture’s next chapter. This information comes from a press release issued by World Ag Expo and the International Agri-Center.
