"AEM does a fantastic job of bringing together thought leaders, bringing together people to serve as this central foundation for all the industries we serve., from construction to agriculture and all the different offshoots of that." - Bill Elverman, owner/partner, PKA Marketing

Set in the heart of the Coachella Valley, the 2024 AEM Annual Conference brought together more than 525 people for three days spent celebrating the rhythms and beats of the cutting-edge advancements, trends, and innovations that form the heartbeat of the equipment manufacturing industry.

In what has become truly a can't-miss event, the AEM Annual Conference provides unparalleled opportunities for networking, as well as cutting-edge content and educational sessions. This year, AEM also inducted a pair of agricultural equipment industry innovators -- Roy Applequist, Founder and Former President and CEO of Great Plains Manufacturing, Inc, and Al McQuinn, Founder and Former CEO and Chairman of Ag-Chem Equipment - into its Hall of Fame.
