Furthermore, registration is currently available for the first live purchasing seminar in almost two years, which will take place in person in October.

We are committed to doing everything in our power to make sure the grain-based and food processing businesses are well-informed as they make ingredient purchase decisions this spring, as leaders in the industries we have serviced for almost a century.
The June Purchasing Seminar was supposed to take place live last year, but the COVID-19 outbreak forced its cancellation and relocation to a virtual venue. Over 300 business leaders signed up for the free virtual event for those who had attended the Purchasing Seminar.
