The U.S. Grains Council’s (USGC) 12th International Marketing Conference and 55th Annual Membership Meeting is scheduled for Feb. 9 to 11, 2015, in Heredia, Costa Rica. Have you made plans to attend? Here are five reasons to consider doing so today!
- Costa Rica is “Full of Life”
Pura vida! These two words sum up the way of life in Costa Rica as they mean a relaxed, happy and peaceful way of life. The Council is planning a productive and enjoyable meeting, with time to experience the culture of this strategically-located export customer.
- Experience Costa Rican Agriculture Firsthand
Conference participants will see the country’s farming sector firsthand on small-group tours to sites related to local agriculture. Settings for these tours will range from a dairy to a craft brewery and a sugar cane distillery to a coffee plantation in the country.
- Exports Influence Your Bottom Line
As a shining star of U.S. international trade, agricultural exports are increasing profitability for farmers and this meeting is your opportunity to learn more and discuss how U.S. agricultural exports are a valuable, growth opportunity for your business.
- Network with Your Colleagues
Join old friends and make news ones during two receptions and other networking opportunities with industry colleagues, Council members and Council staff from around the globe.
- There’s Something for Everyone (Including Your Spouse)
Costa Rica is a great place for everyone to get away and leave the winter blues behind. Fun and adventurous tours have been planned, offering opportunities to see this beautiful and agricultural rich country. TAM Travel will also be available at the registration desk or during the spouse welcome to help guests at the conference plan their own personalized adventures.
