Thursday, February 4th from 6:30 AM to 1:00 PM
Under The Hood Toolbox Talks 1:00 to 4:30 PM
Since 2006, the US Composting Council and the Composting Conference have hosted the nation’s largest live equipment demonstrations for the composting, mulch, and wood recycling industry. Demo Day has grown right alongside the compost industry- drawing over 650 attendees in Sacramento in 2026– and 2027 will be no different. This is a one-of-a-kind experience and don’t miss your chance to have your compost equipment be part of it!
Each group of machines will run in dedicated time slots. This schedule is designed to give you ample opportunities to demonstrate capabilities of the equipment and connect with attendees between demonstrations.
Transportation
Shuttle buses will transport all attendees directly from the Prime F. Osborn III Convention Center to the Demo Day site. On-site parking is extremely limited—attendees and most equipment vendor staff will not be able to drive. A limited number of parking passes will be issued to equipment vendors; vehicles without a pass will not be admitted.
Participation & Pricing
Companies must have a booth in the Exhibit Hall to have equipment at Demo Day. Participation costs vary based on USCC membership status and equipment type. Discounts are available for USCC members and early-bird registration.
