Since 1986, ASABE has sponsored the AE50 Awards honoring innovative products brought into the market this year by companies around the globe. For several years now, the awards have been presented during the AETC due to the similarity between products being awarded and session topics. You can expect to hear presentations from select awardees during the AE50 Showcase sessions during the conference. If you have a qualifying product that is new to the market this year, nominate it for consideration; submissions are being accepted until September 25. For details on how to submit and information on the past winning products, visit www.asabe.org/AE50. Be sure to attend our AE50 Awards Luncheon honoring the award winners on Tuesday during AETC.
