Network and Collaborate at CEC

Are you ready to build your network of industry peers?

During CEC several events occur that take attendee engagement beyond the session programming:

  • All NGFA members can attend an open meeting of the Business, Merchandising and Operations Committee (BMOC).
  • Participants in the CAP Year #1 and #2 programs and the leadership of NGFA’s state affiliate partners all enjoy dedicated workshops and networking events.
  • Get a sneak peek at NGFA’s biennial Trade Rules and Arbitration Seminar by attending a special NGFA Arbitration Case Study Workshop.
  • Current leaders and those on the leadership track who are involved in the asset management of NGFA-member grain, feed or biofuels operations are invited to attend the Grain and Feed Business Leadership Forum, which provides a dedicated space for exchanging insights on running successful independent operations.
