A NOTE REGARDING THE HILTON MINNEAPOLISThe Hilton Minneapolis is currently undergoing an amazing renovation. Look at this!
For those of you staying at the Hilton during The Rendezvous, you will notice some temporary walls, a smaller lobby, etc. Some notes:
• Skywater is still operational. It has been temporarilyrelocated to the area next to the coffee cart in the lobby.
• If you are parking in the hotel parking ramp, you will needto access the lobby from the 2nd floor (you'll see signs inthe elevators and hallways).
• If you were a Hilton HHonors member when you madeyour reservation, and if you have a credit card associatedwith your HHonors account, you can use the Hilton HHonors app to check in to yourroom and can then use the digital key feature to get into your room - no need to stop atthe front desk.

2017 January Trade Show Exhibitor Preview Magazine
Minneapolis Convention Center - January 27-29, 2017Welcome to the Show!
While we’re proud to be at the leading edge of
technology for our industry, at Mid-States we still
believe in old-fashioned values just as much as
high-tech ones. We understand the importance of
meeting with someone face-to-face. We know
first-hand the power of a handshake and a strong
relationship. We appreciate, deep in our “Farm,
Ranch and Home Hearts and Souls,” the energy
and excitement that can build when the right
people are in the right place, together. Those old-fashioned values are at the center of
this Rendezvous, which is happening at a time of
unprecedented progress for our co-operative’s
members and suppliers. In the pages of this
magazine you’ll have a chance to connect names
with faces, and navigate your way through a show
that’s bigger and better than ever. Welcome to Rendezvous. We’re glad you’re here.
