You’re invited to the Working Ranch Expo!
December 8,9 and 10th / Las Vegas Convention Center
Howdy Neighbor, We’re excited to produce the Working Ranch Expo right smack dab in the middle of NFR! Las Vegas is a night time kind-of-town, which is why we’re producing the Expo to help fill your days with useful exhibits and camaraderie with fellow ranchers from around the nation. In addition to a great line-up of exhibitors, we’re also producing the Working Ranch University chalk full of terrific short seminars that just may change the way you ranch! These seminars will run throughout the day, no reservation needed: just mosey on over to the back of the trade show floor and take a seat.
Here’s a sneak peek at the seminar line-up:
The following is a sampling of seminar topics which are subject to additions and/or changes. If your company has a seminar topic and/or speaker they would like to submit, please let us know. Thanks!
