A scheduled visit is four days on the ground, not a junket. Trip one is 15–19 September 2026. Trip two is 15–19 November 2026. Five seats each. Seven to ten manufacturers. Lodging, cars, and introductions are in the fare.
The plant list goes to the people who booked. After the walk the score writes back into the BOM desk.
Airfare is never in the seat.
This note is Professional.
News stays free. The deeper book — plants, BOMs, the week on the ground — ships with the seat.
