The three-day event is an exposition of agricultural technology and equipment that attracts exhibitors and patrons from all over Canada, the northern United States and abroad.
 
"This year's theme is innovation and technology," explained Media Coordinator Andrea Guthrie. "There so much around innovation and technology that is changing our industry, so it's certainly fitting being the 2020 show. Along with it, we have a number of speakers speaking on innovation and technology as well."
 
This year Manitoba Ag Days will welcome 550 exhibitors encompassing all 540,000 square feet of the Keystone Centre.
 
In October, the board announced the popular Inventor's Showcase will be revamped as the Innovation Showcase.
 
"The showcase has always been a big attraction for the show," commented Brad Crammond, Manitoba Ag Days Board Co-Chair. "Showcasing the latest and greatest new inventions and advancements is so important as we as farmers try to understand how these new advancements can positively impact our day to day business. The new Innovation Showcase will be more encompassing to what is happening in agriculture and give all companies a chance to showcase their advancements".
