The 16th Biennial SIOUX FALLS PRODUCTS SHOW, October 24th and 25th ,2012, is South Dakota’s largest business and industrial showcase.  The two-day event expanded its displays into the Column-Free Sioux Falls Convention Center. The Business Expo is a diversified presentation from area industry vendors ranging from office equipment and services to industrial suppliers demonstrating new methods, machinery and tools for area companies.   Personnel who attend the Expo will get ideas on how to help their companies save time and money. On display at the Expo will be many new products and services available for the Sioux Falls marketplace.

"Management today is looking to do more with less - less budget, less time, and less assistance," said Bob Mancuso, Sr., CEO of Mid-America Expositions, Inc., Omaha, Nebraska, the Show Producer. Mancuso said, “By attending trade shows like the SIOUX FALLS PRODUCTS SHOW is one of the best ways companies have found to get updated on the new technology, new products, and new solutions.” The Expo offers a tremendous opportunity for Sioux Falls area businesses to visit with industry experts at the show while comparing, evaluating, and exploring new products and services that will help reduce costs, increase efficiency, speed production, boost sales, along with the opportunity to plan for the future, all at one time and at one place - at the Sioux Falls Convention Center.

“Months of searching and vendor sales calls are compressed into just hours” is the way Bob Mancuso, Jr., Director of the Show describes the Products Show.  “Finding new business opportunities and networking with other businesses is key in today’s business environment, and you can do that at the Sioux Falls Products Show”, Mancuso said.  Sioux Falls area companies and South Dakota corporations lead the impressive list of participating firms for the 2012 Exposition. 

New at the Products Show is the Technology Pavilion and the Safety, Health, and Wellness Pavilion.  These Pavilion’s aim to showcase the improvements and new products in those areas.  The Products Show Summit will highlight seminars on business topics as well as industrial sessions.

For 2012, there will be an Opening Luncheon with a speaker to be named at a later date.  The luncheon will begin at 11:45 am with the Products Show opening at 1:00 p.m.  The luncheon is open to all exhibitors and attendees.  More information on the luncheon will be released at a later date.

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 October 24 and 25, 2012!
