Global Grain Events are organisers of a series of world-leading events for the global grain trading industry. Welcoming more than 2000 attendees from 65 countries, Global Grain Events offer the perfect mix of market insight and networking for top industry executives.

With highly qualified backgrounds, each Global Grain team member adds a unique perspective to the business while sharing a common commitment to providing cutting edge industry insight and superior customer service.

A continued lack of market volatility and burgeoning grain stocks has meant a challenging year for producers and traders. In environments like these, quality information is a vital tool in the effort to survive and maintain steady profit margins.

This year, our agenda will feature new session formats and more expert speakers. We will have structured debates, breakout sessions and interviews with C-level decision makers to allow you to better tailor your personal agenda to your needs.

With two evening champagne receptions, numerous networking breaks and lunches, the event will be the perfect place for anyone active in the grains and oilseeds market.
