New Orleans, Louisiana, October 2009 – The co-located Soya & Oilseed Summit and Global Soybean & Grain Transport event is shaping up to be a gathering of the top companies in the oilseed industry. Those running the show don’t want you to miss out on this great opportunity to leverage personal interactions to grow your business – if you’re in the kind of business that would benefit from this meeting. The 2009 event will be held at the historic Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans, from November 2-5, 2009. Over 75 foreign buyers of soybeans and ingredients will be represented, as will more than 60 sponsors and exhibitors populating a bustling exhibit hall – three times the size of last year’s event in St. Louis. Top food companies, processors, major transportation companies, trading companies and equipment and service providers and media representatives will also be on hand. Companies who plan to be represented include ADM, Bunge North America, Cargill, CN Worldwide North America, ConocoPhillips, Dean Foods/Whitewave, Frito-Lay, Pioneer Hi-Bred, Sara Lee Corporation, SunOpta, Thai Vegetable Oil and Yang Ming Transport. Combining two meetings in one will allow attendees cross-over opportunities – to exchange ideas, and conduct business during shared plenary sessions and networking functions. Exhibiting includes full registration to both conferences. But if you plan to be there, you must register soon. For more information, contact Ann Parker or Mark Phillips. If you act now, you can save $200 on a combined registration - regular registration pricing ends October 16th. SOURCE: Soya & Oilseed Summit
