The 23rd International Marketing Conference and 66th Annual Membership Meeting welcomed U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council members in Panama City, Panama to plan for the upcoming year and hear from Council experts about new market opportunities.
IMC provides members with an overview of the Council’s strategy for the coming year and includes several Advisory Team (A-Team) sessions, where experts in various agricultural commodities and markets come together to conduct market and commodity-specific analyses while sharing experiences relevant to their industry for this year.
USGBC Chairman Mark Wilson began Wednesday’s proceedings, and the audience received a welcome to Panama City by the U.S. Ambassador to the Republic of Panama Kevin Marino Cabrera.
“Panama plays an important role both as a key trading partner for the United States and as a global logistics hub,” Ambassador Cabrera said. “The U.S. embassy is committed to promoting U.S. exports and facilitating dialogue and engagement among stakeholders.”
Thursday will feature a close-up look of the Panama Canal as attendees will participate in Council programming conversations on Latin America and Asia and Advisory Team (A-Team) meetings as they ride along the critical waterway before the meeting concludes on Friday.
