What makes Central Plains Dairy Expo different, and how we build for it
Central Plains Dairy Expo is the producer show of the I-29 dairy corridor, run by the Central Plains Dairy Association in the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center complex in Sioux Falls.In 2026 about 3,500 people came, and 64% of them were dairy owners and herd managers, mostly from Minnesota, South Dakota and Iowa. Around 300 booths sell out every year: returning exhibitors hold first right of refusal, and the waitlist runs so long that new companies may wait until CPDE 2029. The program adds breakout sessions, Ed Shed talks, I-29 Moo University, the Ag Prayer Breakfast, a free pancake breakfast and a Tuesday Welcome Reception with a country concert.
Equipment, feed, health and technology that solves urgent on-farm problems, from people they can call after the show.
A fast comparison of milking, calf care and transition tools between breakout sessions.
Nutritionists, lenders and vets who advise the same farms and meet them on the floor.

How Purple runs Central Plains Dairy Expo 2027 in Sioux Falls
Our Fishkill, NY or Las Vegas shop builds the booth and cuts the flooring, and freight lands at the PREMIER Center complex within CPDE's one-week window, labeled with your booth number. The Purple project manager sets up on Monday or Tuesday with the labor and forklifts the center provides, and holds the teardown until 3 p.m. Thursday.
Inside Central Plains Dairy Expo 2027
Rules that shape your Central Plains Dairy Expo booth
The front 3 feet of every exhibit may not exceed 3 feet in height, and management can make an exhibitor lower or move any element. We design low aisle edges and put height at the back.
Teardown may not begin before 3 p.m. Thursday, and an exhibitor who leaves early may lose eligibility to reserve space for the following Expo. Our project manager books dismantle for after the close.
Items moving in on Tuesday cannot be more than 9 feet wide to fit the aisles; larger equipment comes Monday by appointment. We size crates and plan machine moves to match.
Fuel in a hall vehicle is capped at 5 gallons or a quarter tank, whichever is less, the battery comes off once parked, and propane tanks are not allowed inside. We plan fuel checks before move-in.
Programs worth planning for
Exhibitors can submit a new product through CPDE's New Product Press Release Form ahead of the Expo.
CPDE takes speaker submissions for its breakout and Ed Shed sessions through the CPDE speaker form.
CPDE's lead retrieval partner for 2027; exhibitors buy licenses to scan and track attendee leads.

The booth we would build for Central Plains Dairy Expo 2027
The waitlist-proof upgrade of the booth you hold
At CPDE the space is the scarce thing: returning exhibitors keep their booths year after year, so the win is making the same footprint work harder for producers who came to solve a problem. The play is a low, open front under the 3-foot rule, a lit problem-and-answer back wall and flooring you bring yourself.
Low front
A 3-foot-high plinth line at the aisle with the product on it, so sightlines stay legal and the item is at hand height.
Problem wall
A downlit back wall that names one on-farm problem (calf scours, feed shrink, labor in the parlor) and your answer in one line.
Owner's corner
Two stools and a tablet where an owner or herd manager can run their own numbers with your specialist.
The demo
Show one farm's before and after, with a herd manager from the region on video. CPDE exhibitors say producers come to see products that solve urgent problems; lead with the problem.
The meetings
CPDE has no meeting system; the social calendar is the meeting plan: the Tuesday Welcome Reception, the Wednesday wine and cheese social from 4:30 p.m. and Thursday's free pancake breakfast.
Fewer problems at 4 a.m. More milk in the tank.
The Central Plains Dairy Expo booth is lit and stocked before your team arrives. You just show up.

04 Designing for milking equipment, barn, feed, nutrition, animal health, genetics and dairy technology companies selling to I-29 corridor dairies at Central Plains Dairy Expo
Designing a CPDE booth under the 3-foot front rule
1Three feet tall at the front
The front 3 feet of every exhibit may not exceed 3 feet in height, to keep sightlines open. We keep the aisle edge to low counters and product plinths and place the tall graphics at the back wall.
2Bring the floor with you
The Sanford PREMIER Center will not have carpet for Expo 2027, and carpet is not included with the booth. We ship flooring with the exhibit, sized to the booth, so it arrives with everything else.
3Nine feet wide on Tuesday
On Tuesday's general move-in nothing wider than 9 feet fits the aisles between booths. Wider equipment and big exhibits come in Monday by appointment, so we plan crate sizes and machine moves around that line.
4Aim the light down
Lights must point up or down, never across the aisle into a neighbor's booth. We use downlights on the back wall and lit shelving so the booth glows without spilling.

How many people attend Central Plains Dairy Expo?
About 3,500 in 2026, per CPDE: 64% producers (owners and herd managers), 25% exhibitors and 11% allied industry. Producers came mainly from Minnesota (27%), South Dakota (25%) and Iowa (16%).

What are the booth height rules at Central Plains Dairy Expo?
The front 3 feet of every exhibit may not be more than 3 feet high, and displays, signage and products must stay inside the booth. Lights must point up or down, never across the aisle.

Where do we ship exhibit materials for CPDE?
To the Denny Sanford PREMIER Center Complex, 1201 N. West Ave., Sioux Falls, SD 57104, arriving no more than one week before move-in, labeled with 'Central Plains Dairy Expo', your company name and booth number.
Can we display a vehicle or equipment indoors?
Moving vehicles in the halls may carry no more than 5 gallons of fuel or a quarter tank, whichever is less, with the battery disconnected once in place. Propane tanks are not allowed inside the facilities.
What is the CPDE cancellation policy?
Refunds of 100% until January 1, 50% from January 1 to February 15, and none after February 15, per CPDE's exhibitor policy statement.
Can Purple build our Central Plains Dairy Expo booth?
Yes, for exhibitors holding two or more booths. We fabricate in Fishkill, NY or Las Vegas, ship flooring with the booth, label freight for the one-week window and keep our project manager on site until the 3 p.m. Thursday close.
Is Central Plains Dairy Expo worth the wait?
For companies selling to Upper Midwest dairies, the audience is the draw: 64% of 2026 attendees were owners and herd managers. If you are not yet in, join the waitlist and reach the same farms at World Dairy Expo in the meantime.
What is the difference between CPDE and World Dairy Expo?
CPDE is a regional producer show of about 3,500 people in Sioux Falls each March, with booths held by returning exhibitors. World Dairy Expo is the global dairy show in Madison each fall, with more than 468 companies in 2026 and a dairy cattle show.
Before you sign for Central Plains Dairy Expo
Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for Central Plains Dairy Expo:
- How will your design keep everything under 3 feet in the front 3 feet of our booth?
- What flooring will you ship, given the Sanford PREMIER Center has no carpet for 2027?
- Can our equipment come in Monday by appointment, and how will you handle anything wider than 9 feet?
- How will you label and time freight to arrive within the one-week window before move-in?
- How will you guarantee nothing is packed before the 3 p.m. Thursday close, so we keep our space for next year?
What Central Plains Dairy Expo exhibitors ask us
We are on the waitlist. Is it worth planning a booth? Yes: booths open when a returning exhibitor drops out, usually confirmed in December and January. Have a design ready so you can say yes the day CPDE calls.
Our space is small. Will a custom booth help? On a floor where most booths use the standard table and drape, a lit back wall, a low product front and your own flooring set you apart within the same footprint.
Two short days. Can we justify the cost? Wednesday runs 8:30 to 5:30 and Thursday to 3 p.m., and 64% of the 2026 crowd were producers. The density of buyers is what makes the hours count.
