Exchange 2010, GEAPS' 81st annual international technical conference and exposition, will bring GEAP-ers from around the world to the heart of America's Breadbasket, just 50 miles from the largest grain elevator in the world. What will you find at Exchange 2010? Thousands of grain handling suppliers, workers and managers; the very best in educational and networking opportunities; and the Exchange 2010 Expo, showcasing the latest from over 235 companies—all under one roof.

The Exchange 2010 Expo and educational program will take place at Wichita's Century II Performing Arts and Convention Center, located on the banks of the scenic Arkansas River. Stroll the aisles of our two Expo Halls and chat with exhibitors in more than 350 booths to discover what's new from suppliers, and choose from the more than 30 hours of educational programming, including workshops, classes and small-group Expo Hall pod sessions, to build the Exchange 2010 program that's right for you.

Kansas' largest city was founded as a cattle town, but for Exchange 2010, it's GEAPS territory from the moment you arrive. The Exchange 2010 host committee is rolling out the red carpet treatment, and Great Plains Chapter members will be on hand at the Wichita airport Saturday to welcome Exchange delegates in style. "The good guys wear the white hats"—so look for your Exchange 2010 hosts and their white caps. They've also arranged for historic Wichita trolleys to provide transportation for Exchange delegates from the airport to the official Exchange 2010 hotels all day Saturday.
