All exhibitors, including those who have exhibited at Agfest previously, will need to create a new profile on our new exhibitor platform.
Can I apply for only one site type?
If your product is suitable for multiple locations, we recommend you submit multiple applications so you are considered for all areas.
What happens next to my application?
Once you have successfully submitted your exhibiting application, you will receive an email acknowledging the receipt of your application. Your application will now be checked by the Agfest Administration Team and they will be in contact within five to seven working days only if we require any further information.

Does everyone get a site?
Unfortunately, no they don’t. We receive on average 1000 exhibitor applications every year. Applications from core agricultural companies are given preference. Exhibitors who aren’t successful in the first instance will be placed on a waiting lists for the area they applied for and will be contacted if a suitable site comes available. The Agfest Organising Committee reserves the right to accept or reject any application and the decision shall be final.
You're successful but not happy with your site?
Our Selection Committee makes every effort to accommodate exhibitor location requests; however, with the large number of exhibitors involved, this is not always possible. Exhibitor locations are carefully considered and rotated each year to encourage positive patron flow and ensure a balanced experience across the site. Please note that being a long-term exhibitor does not guarantee the same site, or a site at all, each year. If you have any concerns about your allocated location, please contact us as soon as possible. Our team will consider your circumstances and, where possible, work with you to find a suitable solution. Please be aware that as the event approaches, our ability to make changes becomes increasingly limited.
