尝濒辞测诲尘颈苍蝉迟别谤听鈥� The Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show takes place Sept. 14-15 at the border city鈥檚 agricultural exhibition grounds.
Paul Klaassen of PWM Steel is chair of the Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show. He noted 5,000 to 6,000 people usually attend. The event is open to the public.
Normally, the show sells out its booths in April. But these are not normal times, and as of the end of August, there were still booths and banquet tickets available.
鈥淓very time oil goes up, we get inquiries,鈥� he said, adding that if you鈥檙e still in business, the Lloydminster Heavy Oil Show is the best bang for your marketing buck. As of Aug. 29, there were still booths available, at $1,250 for an inside booth and $625 for and outside booth.
Klaassen said you only need one or two customers to make that investment pay off.
Unlike the Calgary or Fort McMurray shows, the Lloydminster show is very focused, specifically on heavy oil, he noted.
鈥淚t鈥檚 great for networking. It鈥檚 educational,鈥� Klaassen said.
The Canadian Association of Oilwell Drilling Contractors is bringing its Oil Respect campaign to Lloydminster, including speaking to a grade 9 class on the Wednesday morning.
