Five pavilions of December iron: Nebraska Ag Expo 2027 booths in Lincoln

The second-largest indoor farm show in the U.S. fills 9.2 acres of the Sandhills Global Event Center each December with about 760 exhibitors. We plan booths for 2027 now, sized to each pavilion's doors and ceilings, while INEDA sets the new dates.

What makes Nebraska Ag Expo different, and how we build for it

The Nebraska Ag Expo is INEDA's December show, built on the model of the Iowa Power Farming Show and now 20 years old: it opened in 2007 with 300 companies in two buildings and in 2026 holds nearly 760 exhibitors in 2,200 booth spaces across 9.2 acres. Its timing is the point, per INEDA: growers come for year-end purchasing and exhibitors meet customers planning the next season. The halls differ a lot, from Currency Pavilion's 14′ ceiling to TractorHouse Pavilion's 30′ ceiling and 36′ door, and the audience is big-acre and corn-heavy: 92.7% of attendees raise corn and 42.5% raise cattle.

Large corn and irrigated-acre farmers

Planting, irrigation, grain and precision tools that pay off on operations averaging 1,491 acres, priced before year-end purchase decisions.

Cattle producers and ranchers

Feeding, handling and livestock technology for the 42.5% of attendees who raise cattle, plus the Innovation Hub's newest tools.

Young and first-time visitors

36% of producers are under 40 and 14.3% of visitors are new to the show; they want technology they can try and a clear price.

How Purple runs the Nebraska Ag Expo 2027 in Lincoln

Purple fabricates and prints in Fishkill, NY or Las Vegas; crated freight goes through Liberty Exposition Services, and machines stage east of TractorHouse Pavilion. Our project manager sets the booth in your pavilion with the labor INEDA and Liberty provide, coordinates power with the event center electrician, and clears the floor by 7 p.m. on the last day.

Rules that shape your booth

8′ inline height, 5′ setback

Inline displays top out at eight feet under the 2026 rules; a fixture taller than four feet that stands within ten feet of the next booth moves five feet back from the aisle. Larger building exhibits can ask for an exception with a dimensioned drawing.

Organizer rule

Venue electrician only

Every electrical connection is made by the Sandhills Global Event Center electrician, power is priced per outlet, and multiple plugs found in a booth are rewired at the exhibitor's cost.

Organizer rule

Fuel, batteries and keys

Tractors and trucks inside hold a tenth of a tank or five gallons at most, with locked caps, unhooked batteries and no keys; heavy items roll on wheels or get lifted, and dragging them across the floor is not allowed.

Organizer rule

No tape on paint, no signs on the building

No signs or banners may be posted on venue property, no tape may touch painted walls or doors, and exposed carpet edges must be taped down. We hang graphics from the booth structure only.

Organizer rule

One display per brand

The association wants a single display per equipment brand, put up by its maker or distributor, and bans used gear for sale; breaking either rule costs the exhibitor its space for good.

Organizer rule

Programs worth planning for

Innovation Hub

A curated showcase of autonomous equipment, robotics, drones, precision and AI tools; INEDA lists 75 companies in the 2026 hub.

ExpoEDU

The show's speaker series on agricultural topics, held in the LivestockMarket Pavilion next to the Innovation Hub in 2025.

The Nebraska Ag Expo is the Plains' big indoor December show, run by the dealers who also run the Iowa Ag Expo; choose it over Husker Harvest Days when you want year-end buyers in heated halls rather than a late-summer field show.

02 Booths & pricing for Nebraska Ag Expo 2027

Nebraska Ag Expo booth prices and what INEDA includes

Lincoln uses the same booth ladder as INEDA's Des Moines show. In 2026 a single 10′ × 10′ unit is $930, the per-unit price drops at 2, 4 and 6 units to $775, a corner adds $190, and the Expo Director quotes anything from eight units up. The fee covers a skirted table, two chairs, Wi-Fi, a program listing and forklift help for company vehicles; power and wired internet are bought from the Sandhills Global Event Center. Inline fixtures stop at 8′, so tall elements belong in larger multi-booth spaces or the high-ceiling pavilions.

The booth we would build for Nebraska Ag Expo 2027

The year-end deal desk in the TractorHouse

December in Lincoln is when Plains growers settle year-end purchases and plan the next season. The booth is a showroom with a closing table: the machine or system lit under a high pavilion ceiling, a clear price or program on the wall, and a desk where a dealer can write it up before December 31.

The equipment under lighting hung from the booth's own structure, since nothing may be posted on venue property.

02

Year-end offer wall

One panel with the season's program, financing and delivery dates, readable from the aisle without a salesperson.

03

Innovation corner

A tablet or screen showing the precision or irrigation app, for the 36% of producers under 40.

04

Closing desk

A desk and four chairs at the back of a multi-booth space where dealers write orders and book spring delivery.

The demo

Show the payback over a Nebraska season: irrigation water saved, passes cut or bushels gained on a 1,491-acre average operation, then let the grower sit in the cab or handle the controller.

The meetings

INEDA runs no meeting system on the floor; meetings happen at the booth desk. Pre-book dealer and key-account visits for the mornings, before the aisles fill.

Decide in December. Plant with confidence in spring.

Designing for Lincoln's pavilions: 14-foot to 30-foot ceilings

Giant sequoias in a misty grove in the Sierra Nevada of Tulare County, California1

Match the pavilion

Ceilings run from 14′ in Currency and EquineMarket Pavilions to 25′ in Ag Society Hall and FR8STAR Pavilion and 30′ in TractorHouse Pavilion. We size headers and machine heights to the building before we draw anything.

Wide California vegetable field with straight rows below dry rolling hills2

8 feet at the edges

Signs and fixtures in an inline cap out at eight feet, and the tall pieces near a neighbor have to step back five feet from the aisle line. So the height lives at the core of a multi-unit space.

3

Sell the year-end decision

The December date catches growers making year-end purchases. Graphics that show a price, a financing offer or a spring delivery date match why this crowd comes.

4

Concrete or carpet

Ag Society Hall and Currency Pavilion booths sit on concrete; the other pavilions are mainly carpet. On concrete we add flooring under any meeting area, and we never drag heavy pieces: the venue requires wheels or lifting.

A

TractorHouse Pavilion 4

87,000 sq. ft. with a 30′ ceiling, carpet or concrete, and a 36′ × 18′ south door.

B

LivestockMarket Pavilion 3

86,450 sq. ft., 20′ ceiling minimum, carpeted; home of the Innovation Hub and ExpoEDU in 2025.

Our advice A booth near the Innovation Hub draws growers looking for new technology.

Our advice Keep headers well under the 14′ ceiling and plan lighting from the booth, not the roof.

D

Ag Society Hall and FR8STAR Pavilion

17,000 and 36,000 sq. ft. with 25′ ceilings; FR8STAR has a 29′4″ bi-fold north door.

Yes. Our Fishkill, NY or Las Vegas shop fabricates it, we size it to your pavilion, ship through Liberty Exposition Services, and a Purple project manager is on the floor in Lincoln from setup through teardown.

Before you sign for Nebraska Ag Expo

Ask any Nebraska Ag Expo exhibit builder these five questions:

  1. Which pavilion is our booth in, and how will you size headers to its ceiling and our machines to its doors?
  2. How will you hang lighting and graphics without touching venue walls or using tape on paint?
  3. Will freight go through Liberty Exposition Services, and how do you budget its drayage?
  4. How will you coordinate power with the event center electrician, given multiple plugs are not allowed?
  5. Can you store the booth after the Iowa Ag Expo in February and bring it to Lincoln in December?

What Nebraska Ag Expo exhibitors ask us

The 2027 dates are not out. Is it too early to plan? No. The show has run each December in Lincoln since 2007, and returning exhibitors renew in late spring. Walking the 2026 show December 8–10 is the best way to pick a pavilion.

Which pavilion should we ask for? Tall machines need TractorHouse Pavilion's 30′ ceiling and 36′ door; technology firms often fit near the Innovation Hub in LivestockMarket Pavilion. Currency and EquineMarket have 14′ ceilings.

We already do the Iowa Ag Expo. Is Lincoln worth a second show? The same association runs both on the same booth rates, so one booth can serve both, ten months apart. Lincoln adds Nebraska's irrigated-corn and cattle buyers at year-end.
