The program, set for Feb. 27, will give each participant an opportunity to explain their innovations on stage.
The GEAPS Educational Programming Committee (EPC) selected the presenters at their Nov. 11 meeting in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S. The EPC extensively reviews each application and then selects the most appropriate and applicable for the Idea Exchange.
Idea Exchange has two parts. One part, “What’s New?,” provides a forum for participants to discuss products that are new to the industry, or which have unique new features. The other part, “Why Don’t They?... I Did!” focuses on innovations made at grain facilities that others may find useful. This year, the Idea Exchange participants, as selected by the EPC, are:
