The IA, an organization for irrigation companies and professionals, has announced the 2016 and 2017 show dates and locations.

The Irrigation Association has confirmed the dates and locations for the 2016 and 2017 Irrigation Show & Education Conferences:

2016 Irrigation Show: Las Vegas, Dec. 5 – 9
2017 Irrigation Show: Orlando, Fla., Nov. 17 – 21

IA's annual Irrigation Show is the world's largest irrigation exhibition. Show highlights include over 300 exhibitors for agriculture, landscape and golf irrigation; networking with decision-makers on the show floor and at social events; insight sessions on industry trends and initiatives for water-use efficiency and sustainability; and technical sessions, seminars and education classes.

Unlike for-profit trade shows, revenue from the Irrigation Show supports IA initiatives to benefit its members and the irrigation industry by:

Improving industry proficiency through continuing education.
Recognizing and promoting experience and excellence with professional certification.
Ensuring industry standards and codes reflect irrigation best practices.
Influencing water-use public policy at the local, state, regional and national levels.

The 2015 Irrigation Show will be held in Long Beach, Calif., Nov. 9 – 13. For this year's event, IA has partnered with the American Society of Agricultural and Biological Engineers to host the 2015 Irrigation Symposium in conjunction with the show.
