ISSUE #1 Spudman Toda y 2020 Show Daily Meet and potatoes: A sure bet for the potato industry By Cully Easterday and Dan Moss Co-chairmen of the Potato Expo 2020 Steering Committee P eople come to Vegas to test their luck, but everyone at Potato Expo 2020 is a winner just by attending. There are tons of exciting events and speakers to learn from over the next two days. Make the most of all Potato Expo has to offer by sitting in on Potato Talks at the Expo Stage, getting caught up on consumption and production trends and connecting with the more than 2,000 potato peers, all here to talk potatoes. Just like the casino floor, the Potato Expo trade show is once again the center of activity. And this year it's even better! With over 180 exhibiting companies and 2,000-plus potato peers, the trade show is the place to take your business to the next level. Hang out in one of the new Meet-up Lounges. Scattered throughout the exhibit hall, the lounges are convenient and comfortable places to do business, take a break, or recharge (your phone and yourself ). Or re-caffeinate at the trade show coffee bar to power through your day. As always, we have a great lineup of speakers. Kicking things off are Mike Lee and David Parker.
