The 14th Biennial SIOUX FALLS PRODUCTS SHOW for Business & Industry will be coming to the Sioux Falls Convention Center, Wednesday and Thursday, October 24th and 25th.  The Expo is regarded as the largest of its kind in South Dakota,  occupying the entire Sioux Falls Convention Center.  Exhibits will be open on Wednesday from 1 PM to 6 PM, and on Thursday from 10 AM to 4 PM.  Admission is free and open to management, engineering, purchasing, production, architects, contractors, government, quality control, construction, marketing, professional, office personnel and other qualified personnel in the business-industrial fields.

Bob Mancuso, Sr., C.E.O. of Mid-America Expositions, Inc., the Show Producer, said, “This year's Show promises to be better than ever, the Show’s over 200 exhibits will cover the full range of new products, technology, services, equipment and applications for business and industry.  It is both a marketplace and technical center where suppliers will be showing full product lines, something not possible with shows that focus on only one segment of an industry.” 
The diversity of products and services, as well as the convenience of finding them in one place, has made the SIOUX FALLS PRODUCTS SHOW into the success it is today. See the attached Preliminary List of Exhibitors.
The Sioux Falls Products Show Summit has something that will appeal to any business person.  Bob Mancuso, Jr., Director of Exhibits, said “there is diversity in the programs.  There are business as well as industrial seminars.  From “Electric Radiant Heating Products” to “Taking the Guesswork out of Hiring” to South Dakota’s Sales & Use Tax and the Contractor’s Excise Tax”, Mancuso, Jr. said the summit seminars add an extra benefit to attendees.”  See the attached Summit Schedule for full listing.  

The main goal of the Products Show is to raise business productivity by making it easier for companies to learn about products and services that can save them time, money and even do the job more economically for their firms. “It’s a supermarket of values,  the Products Show gives attendees the opportunity to see the latest in creativity and technology.   It affords the opportunity for those coming to the Show to see hundreds of products and services that they can use on a day to day basis, visit with current and prospective suppliers, network, and to see those products and services  in one location and under one roof.  Visitors can see demonstrations, collect information, compare prices, and become acquainted with the suppliers, all at one time.”
This business Expo held in Sioux Falls every other year, is a mass movement by suppliers to move their display rooms right into the Sioux Falls Convention Center for industry to evaluate all at one time and in one location.  Each participating firm will have experts available to discuss how their products are made, how they work and what they cost, along with answering questions from today's businessmen regarding how they can reduce cost, speed up production, boost sales and increase efficiency. 

The Sioux Falls Chamber of Commerce will be hosting the ribbon cutting at the Sioux Falls Convention Center at 11:30 AM.  Then the official Opening Luncheon featuring Mike Cooper, Director of Planning and Building Services, City of Sioux Falls will begin at 11:45 AM.  The cost for the luncheon is $15.00 and is open to all exhibitors and open to the public.  To RSVP, please call 800-475-7469 by Tuesday, Oct 23.  The Show then opens at 1:00 PM.
The Show Producer,  Bob Mancuso, Sr., C.E.O. of Mid-America Expositions, Inc., Omaha, Nebraska,  is overwhelmed by the impressive list of participating firms for the 2007 Exposition, and said, "Over 100,000 admission tickets have been distributed to qualified persons in the surrounding areas who are invited to attend the show to see the latest creativity, technology, and hundreds of usable ideas at the show.  There is no doubt about the value of the Products Show to the Sioux Falls area and the sales power of the show".
Opportunities to view new products and services, visit with current and prospective suppliers, and set future appointments are just a few of the benefits which the show offers.  The Sioux Falls Products Show is the place to be on Oct 24 and 25!
Parking and admission is free.  Registration is available both days of the show at the Sioux Falls Convention Center.
