The Nampo Harvest day has been one of the biggest events on the agricultural calendar for the past six decades. This event usually takes place just outside Bothaville in the Free State and showcases the latest in agricultural products and trends, and offers all kinds of family-orientated fun for young and old. Due to the global pandemic and a restriction on large gatherings, the show organisers, Grain SA, have decided to take the 54th Nampo Harvest Day exhibition online. But that doesn't mean it's going to be any less exciting!
 
 
 

This year, you won't have any excuse to miss Nampo...

Grain SA says that the Nampo Harvest Day will revamp its digital presence with a virtual event that will feature most of what attendees would have experienced at the physical event. This will enable the public to attend the event and its various sub-events via their smartphones, tablets or computers. It will connect farmers, suppliers and colleagues with their favourite exhibitors from across the industry, bringing a wealth of agricultural knowledge to your very fingertips. Exhibitors who have responded positively to the virtual event will be able to feature all of their product offerings on the Nampo Virtual platform. This will enable them to showcase their latest innovations and enable visitors to sign up for a one-to-one consultation.

The other advantage of this virtual platform is that it enables Grain SA to utilize it beyond this year, enabling a wider reach of those who are unable to attend the physical event. While there won't be anything like walking between the exhibition stands at the event, the virtual offering is set to offer a pleasant and informative interactive experience.
 
 
 

Here's what you can look forward to at Nampo Virtual

Typically Nampo, it's not just tractors and harvesters, there's plenty of fun to be had as well. While we will surely miss the juicy sosaties, biltong, and curry-and-rice vetkoek, virtual visitors will be able to enter exciting competitions, share photos to the online gallery, take part in the daily ladies programme, chat to exhibitors in chatrooms, sign up for free webinar sessions, see interviews with celebrities, and access various forms of entertainment, all from the comfort of our favourite armchair or couch!

Online registration opens on the 1st of September. You must register, as this will be your digital "passport" to access all of the online excitement that Nampo will bring this year from September 9th, so be sure to visit the website to stay up to date with the latest developments. You can visit the Nampo Virtual visitor's microsite here, in the meantime.
