2021 3i SHOW Planning In Full Force!
New Pricing Introduced!!
|
|
Planning for the 2021 3i SHOW, scheduled for March 18, 19, and 20, 2021, is well underway! The show will continue to be held in Dodge City, KS at the Western State Bank Expo Center from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday and Friday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday! This will be out fourth year with the new March dates, and we look forward to continued regrowth.
We are excited to announce that a new pricing structure has been introduced for 2021! Piggybacking off the discounts beginning after a second contracted space, we have decreased ALL spaces by $100! The new structure has been implemented as we recognize the continued difficulty of the Ag economy. We hope to see exhibitors that have scaled back to expand once again.
WKMA staff has already been working hard to finalize as many events for 2021 as early as possible to assist with plans to implement earlier marketing and promotion schedules. Events confirmed are the Bull Sale hosted by Sutphin Cattle and the first-ever 3i Gun Show! We look forward to seeing everyone March 18, 19, and 20, 2021!

WKMA Scholarships Have Been Suspended
|
Due to the uncertain nature of schooling at that time, on June 1, WKMA made the decision to not fund any scholarships for the upcoming 2020-21 academic year.
WKMA has funded scholarships for many years and are proud of the western Kansas students furthering their education at area community colleges, technical colleges and universities.
The 2021-22 academic year will see the WKMA scholarships reinstated. Preference is given to students enrolling in Agri-Business, Industrial or Mechanical Engineering, Pre-Engineering or Business Administration.

Free Marketing Opportunities Available
|
Each year, many exhibitors host a variety of giveaways, presentations, demonstrations and events, gaining FREE MARKETING opportunities. WKMA promotes these activities by advertising them on the Event page of the 3i website as well as creating Facebook Event listings and sending news releases to media.
This information is also included in the annual 3i SHOW Press Kit, providing additional free advertising in special 3i SHOW print publications. Exhibitors are strongly encouraged to contact WKMA ASAP with any plans to hold/participate in events at the 2021 3i SHOW.
