For the third consecutive year, FarmLink and Farm At Hand are proud to announce the return of Grain World Conference and Tradeshow 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”
Mark Lepp, Grain World Chairman and CEO of FarmLink Marketing Solutions, is pleased to welcome Ag Growth International as Driving Partner of Grain World as well as Expert Sponsor FWS for the third consecutive year. New this year is Nutrien Ag Solutions, who has come on board as an additional Driving Partner.

"Continuous collaboration and education will be key in the coming years and we hope to forge strong connections today to better prepare us for the future. We look forward to meeting many industry experts at another world-class Grain World Conference."
