Additional USSEC Event: The 2018 US SOY Americas Buyers Conference, presented by USSEC, will be held July 24-26 also at the Hilton Cartagena. This is the premier Americas Region event for your opportunity to network with some of the most influential buyers and importers in the Region. Come see marquee presenters like Iowa State's Dr. Elwynn Taylor and Informa's Ken Erickson. The event will be capped off by a round robin, professionally translated opportunity for you to introduce your company to foreign buyers. If you want to attend, please indicate on your Board Meeting online registration form. USSEC will cover all event catering costs. Please note that the USSEC Board of Directors meetings runs at the same time, therefore, you would only be able to attend for the evening of July 24, the morning of July 25, and the full day of July 26.
