Grain World Conference and Trade Show Coming to Saskatoon in November

Aug 26, 2019

For the third consecutive year, FarmLink and Farm At Hand are proud to announce the return of Grain World Conference and Trade Show on November 27 & 28, 2019. This year, Grain World will take place in Saskatoon at the Delta Hotels Bessborough – a historic, castle-like spectacle situated along the South Saskatchewan River.
 
This world-class event offers two full days of conference sessions, infotainment, thought-provoking panel discussions and interactive trade show exhibits. Delegates will network and exchange perspectives with some of the top influencers in this thriving industry.

“While the economic impact of hosting over 400 delegates in Saskatoon will be significant, the true value of the event is the opportunity to foster further sharing and advancement in this area,” says Brad Peters, Tourism Saskatoon Director of International Sales. “With our community’s deep ties to agriculture and home to about one-third of Canada’s agricultural biotechnology industry with a history of world-class agricultural innovation, our city is the perfect location to host the Grain World Conference”

About Grain World: Previously run by the Canadian Wheat Board and then Wild Oats, Grain World has been Canada’s dominant agricultural outlook conference. The absence of the conference in 2016 left a gap that was felt by the industry; as a result, FarmLink and Farm At Hand revived Grain World in 2017, delivering a conference and tradeshow like no other.
