Registration for Export Exchange 2024 is officially open and available online at grains.org/exportexchange. This year’s event will be held in Fort Worth, Texas, Oct. 7-9.
The U.S. Grains Council (USGC), Growth Energy and the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) are co-sponsoring the event and encourage U.S. suppliers of coarse grains and co-products, industry representatives and members of the grain trade to register.
The biennial event is expected to bring together 200 international buyers and end-users of coarse grains and co-products, including distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), with approximately 300 U.S. suppliers and agribusiness representatives.
Council, Growth Energy and RFA members are eligible for discounted pricing during online registration.
“Export Exchange is the Council’s flagship event and we are ecstatic to hold it in Texas this year with our partners at Growth Energy and RFA,” said Verity Ulibarri, USGC chairwoman. “Nothing beats conducting business face-to-face and Export Exchange’s track record of generating sales and lasting relationships is proof of that.”
Previous editions of the conference have each resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in sales of grains and co-products traded on-site or immediately following the event.
In addition to networking opportunities, the event will focus on timely topics related to exports of U.S. corn, sorghum, barley, DDGS and related products. Council-sponsored trade teams from more than 30 countries will also be in attendance, participating in tours before and after the main conference.
More information will be distributed in the coming months to members of the grains industries and will be made available online at www.exportexchange.org or on social media using the hashtag #ExEx24. Those interested can sign up for a mailing list to automatically receive conference updates by emailing info@exportexchange.org.
