What makes SE Regional different, and how we build for it

The Southeast Regional Fruit & Vegetable Conference, hosted by the Georgia Fruit & Vegetable Growers Association, calls itself the premier educational conference and trade show in the southeastern U.S., with more than 3,300 attendees and 400 exhibitor booths in its 2027 prospectus. Fourteen commodity conferences, from Blueberry and Peach to Vidalia Onion and Watermelon, run beside the floor at the expanded Savannah Convention Center. Innovation Row, built with UGA CAES and Grand Farm, puts precision ag startups just outside the hall, the Welcome Celebration and Live Auction fill the floor on Friday evening, and booth choice runs on priority points.

Commercial fruit and vegetable growers

Seed, transplants, crop protection, irrigation and harvest equipment matched to Southeast crops and a long season.

Packers and shippers

Packing lines, containers, cooling and logistics partners to line up for the spring packing season.

Extension agents and food safety consultants

Clear product data, labels and compliance information to pass on to the growers they advise.

Your team in Savannah

How Purple runs SE Regional 2027 in Savannah

We build in Fishkill, NY and route freight to the RPM advance warehouse on Alfred Street ahead of the December 23 cutoff, with equipment timed for the bulk-space move-in. Our project manager crosses to Hutchinson Island, leads the install with the labor RPM assigns, finishes before the 5 p.m. deadline and stays for the Saturday teardown.

SE Regional rules that shape your booth

Freight deadlines before the holidays

Warehouse freight must reach ABF Freight c/o RPMXPO by December 23, 2026 or pay a 25 percent surcharge, and nothing is accepted after December 30. We ship a week ahead of the cutoff so the holidays never touch your booth.

Organizer rule

Set up by 5 p.m. or lose points

Exhibitors not set up by 5 p.m. on move-in day count as no-shows and risk their booth space and priority points; leaving before 2:30 p.m. Saturday risks next year's invitation. We schedule the install to finish early and the teardown after the close.

Organizer rule

Vehicles: battery off, visquine down

Motor vehicles on display need the battery disconnected, the fuel fill pipe secured and visquine under them from bumper to bumper at all times. We add the floor protection and placement to the booth plan before the fire marshal walk.

Organizer rule

Two vendors for services

Carpet, furniture and floral come from RPM's exhibitor kit; electricity and booth cleaning are ordered and paid directly with the Savannah Convention Center, and uncleaned booths stay uncleaned. We file both sets of orders at the advance rate.

Organizer rule

No outside food or drink

Savor Savannah is the exclusive caterer, outside food and beverage is not allowed, and alcohol is barred on the floor during move-in and move-out. Sampling or hospitality at the booth is ordered through Savor Savannah.

Organizer rule

02 Booths & pricing for SE Regional 2027

How much is a booth at the SE Regional Fruit & Vegetable Conference 2027?

SE Regional sells space through the GFVGA exhibits contact and assigns it with priority points: exhibitors earn one point a year and sponsors half a point. Seed, input and service companies take inlines; equipment and packing-line suppliers take larger spaces, and bulk-space exhibitors move in two days early. We recommend a 10×20 inline for a first SE Regional and a 20×20 or larger for working equipment.

The booth we would build for SE Regional 2027

The crop-by-crop answer wall for Southeast growers

Growers walk out of fourteen different commodity sessions and into one hall, each with a specific pest, variety or labor problem in mind. The booth answers by crop: a wall a blueberry grower and a watermelon grower can each read in five seconds, a product in hand and a counter that books the spring order.

01

Answer wall

Panels by crop, peach, berry, onion, melon, vegetables, each naming the problem and your product, lit to read across a lunch-hour aisle.

02

In-hand table

Real product at the aisle edge: drip tape, transplant trays, a nozzle set or a harvest tote growers can pick up and feel.

03

Order counter

A waist-high desk where staff price spring orders and find the nearest dealer in Georgia, Florida or the Carolinas.

04

Evening edge

Lighting and a counter top that keep working during the Friday Welcome Celebration and Live Auction on the floor.

The demo

Tie the demo to the session growers just left: a short loop from a Georgia field trial, then the result in yield or hours, then the product in hand.

The meetings

SE Regional has no organizer meeting system; book growers at the booth during Friday and Saturday lunch, which is served in the hall, or at the GFVGA reception at the Westin on Thursday evening.

Earn and use priority points

Booth choice at SE Regional follows priority points: one per year as an exhibitor, half a point as a sponsor. We keep a modular booth that fits the space your points can buy this year and grows into a better location as the points add up.

Plan for the Friday party

The Welcome Celebration and Live Auction runs on the trade show floor Friday from 4:45 to 6:15 p.m., with lunch in the hall both days. A booth with a clear counter edge and lighting that still works in an evening crowd keeps conversations going into the party.

Speak to fourteen crops

Growers arrive from the Blueberry, Peach, Strawberry, Watermelon, Muscadine and Vidalia Onion sessions. Panels that name the crop and the pest or problem let a peach grower and a watermelon grower each find their answer at your booth.

Where you could be at SE Regional 2027

SE Regional fills the expanded Savannah Convention Center with the trade show, session rooms and Innovation Row. These are the areas that shape a booth.

AExhibitor Hall
BInnovation Row
CNorth and South Loading Docks
Savannah Convention Center, SavannahSchematic, not to scale
A

Exhibitor Hall

About 400 booths in 2027, inside a building with 200,000 sq. ft. of exhibit space after the 2026 expansion, per Purple's venue guide.

Our advice Lunch is served in the hall both days, so aisles near the food stations fill at noon.

B

Innovation Row

Display areas for ag tech just outside the trade show floor in high-traffic corridors near registration and the River Concourse.

Our advice A startup here needs a working demo; growers come to kick the tires.

C

North and South Loading Docks

Freight and bulk-space equipment come in through the docks on the island side, reached by the road bridge.

Our advice Book equipment for the January 5–6 bulk move-in, not the Thursday rush.

SE Regional 2027 move-in, RPM freight and Savannah Convention Center rules

Freight reaches Hutchinson Island over the road bridge while people ride the free Savannah Belles Ferry from River Street, per Purple's venue guide. RPM is the decorator: freight goes to ABF Freight c/o RPMXPO, 2404 Alfred St., by December 23, 2026 to avoid a 25 percent surcharge, and the warehouse refuses shipments after December 30. Bulk-space exhibitors move in January 5–6, everyone else January 7; booths not set by 5 p.m. count as no-shows. Georgia is right-to-work, and Purple budgets drayage near $150 per hundredweight. Our project manager runs the install with the labor RPM assigns.

This building's hall rules, drayage estimates and freight deadlines for SE Regional exhibitors are in our Savannah Convention Center exhibitor guide.

What Purple handles

  • Booths sized to the space your SE Regional priority points secure
  • Freight to the RPM advance warehouse before the December cutoffs
  • RPM and Savannah Convention Center service orders filed for you
  • Equipment displays with battery, fuel and visquine rules built in
  • Crop-by-crop graphics for Southeast fruit and vegetable growers
  • Reuse for the Great Lakes, Mid-Atlantic and Florida grower shows

SE Regional timeline, counted back from move-in

Freight at the RPM advance warehouse without the 25 percent surcharge: December 23, 2026. That means design sign-off by late November; we can still make it if we start this month.

We need design sign-off by late November 2026.

  1. November 20, 2026Sponsor commitments by this date make the printed conference program.

What SE Regional exhibitors know about Savannah in January

  1. Freight to the RPM warehouse in Savannah must arrive by December 23, 2026, or it pays a 25 percent surcharge, and nothing is accepted after December 30. source

  2. Booths not set up by 5 p.m. on move-in day are counted as no-shows and can lose their space and their priority points. source

  3. Lunch is served in the trade show on both show days at noon, so the floor is busiest from 12 to 1 p.m. Friday and Saturday. source

  4. Booth cleaning is ordered only from the Savannah Convention Center; a booth without an order is not cleaned, and onsite rates are higher than advance rates. source

  5. Hotel rooms in the conference block are booked only through Passkey or the Visit Savannah Housing Line; anyone else offering block rooms is a poacher, per the conference. source

Yes. We build in Fishkill, NY, file the RPM and convention center orders, ship to the RPM warehouse before December 23, and our project manager leads move-in and move-out in Savannah.

How is SE Regional different from the Great Lakes EXPO?

SE Regional serves Georgia, Florida and Carolinas fruit and vegetable growers in January in Savannah; the Great Lakes EXPO serves Michigan and Great Lakes growers in December in Grand Rapids. Pick by where your growers farm, or ship one booth to both.

Is SE Regional worth it for an ag tech startup?

It can be: Innovation Row offers complimentary display areas for emerging precision ag technologies, and the conference runs a two-day Precision Ag and Technology track that sends growers looking for tools.

Before you sign for SE Regional

Five questions to ask any exhibit builder for SE Regional:

  1. How will you get our booth to the RPM advance warehouse in Savannah before December 23, 2026?
  2. Which orders will you file with RPM and which directly with the Savannah Convention Center?
  3. How will you prepare our equipment for the battery, fuel and visquine rules?
  4. Can our booth be finished well before the 5 p.m. move-in cutoff on January 7?
  5. How does the booth scale up as our priority points earn us a larger space?

What SE Regional exhibitors ask us

We are new and have no priority points. Will we get a bad spot? Points decide who picks first, so a newcomer starts further back. A strong 10×20 with a lit crop wall works in any aisle, and every year you exhibit adds a point toward a better location.

The warehouse deadline is right before Christmas. Can we make it? Yes, if design is signed in late November. We build in 30 to 45 days and ship to arrive before December 23, 2026, ahead of the surcharge.

Is the trade show busy enough on only two days? The floor is open about 15 hours across Friday and Saturday, with lunch in the hall both days and the Friday evening celebration on the floor, so traffic is concentrated rather than thin.
