Big Iron International Visitor Program 2025

Don’t miss exploring new opportunities through the Big Iron International Visitor Program, taking place September 8 -11, 2025 in Fargo, North Dakota!

Under the Trade Event Partnership Program (TEPP), the U.S. Commercial Service has identified the Big Iron International Visitor Program (IVP) as an excellent opportunity for agriculture industry stakeholders from across the globe to travel to North Dakota for a week of networking, education, and site visits, and to engage with leading agricultural manufacturing, machinery, and technology companies based in the state. Learn more about the Big Iron IVP and apply to participate.

The Big Iron IVP includes a dedicated international visitors day at the Big Iron Farm Show, which is the largest farm show in the Upper Midwest and features the latest technologies in large-scale agriculture production. The show is ideal for international buyers and U.S. manufacturers or distributors of large agricultural equipment, and it is expected to include more than 900 exhibitors and attract more than 60,000 attendees.

The U.S Commercial Service and the North Dakota Trade Office are collaborating through the TEPP to promote the Big Iron IVP, which recruits international buyer delegations from around the world to participate in dedicated IVP programming, including the Big Iron Farm Show.
