16/01/14: Event: Change of dates for debut European events

American events and media company High Quest Partners LLC have announced that its co-located Oilseed Congress Europe/MENA and Women in Agribusiness Summit Europe - initially scheduled to take place this February -  will now be held in February 2015, deferred from the previous dates to ensure the highest quality content, programming and speaker line-up for which these events have come to be recognised.

“This new timing will enable us to delve even deeper into market research to make certain that we deliver the content, and convene the subject matter experts, that are of utmost relevance and importance to the European markets,” said Joy O’Shaughnessy, event director for HighQuest Partners.

“These events promise a comprehensive look at the sector with the most pertinent industry content and speakers, and networking opportunities that expand business acumen, professional relationships and business possibilities.” 

The Oilseed Congress Euroe/MENA
will now be held in 2015.
What will the co-located Summit include?

Oilseed Congress Europe/MENA
The inaugural Oilseed Congress Europe/MENA will address key opportunities and challenges facing the oilseed trade in Europe, the Middle East and North Africa and provide networking opportunities for senior executives and industry players operating across the supply chain.  

Key industry analysts, including Thomas Mielke, editor-in-chief of OIL WORLD, will discuss supply and demand trends in the oilseed sector and the opportunities and challenges for those operating in these markets.
 
The agenda for the event will address:   
 
•    Global overview of the oilseed market
•    Overviews of major origins for oilseeds and markets for oilseeds and derivatives
•    Identifying new sources of trade financing
•    New developments in risk management strategies
•    Trends and developments regarding trading rules and arbitration.

The conference will use a format that encourages more interactive exchanges of information, not static presentations, in order to promote participation and open sharing of key knowledge between attendees.

The Women in Ag Summit
will now be held in 2015.
Women in Agribusiness Summit
The European Women in Agribusiness Summit will bring the same intimate atmosphere to the Barcelona event as the U.S. Summit, while also providing an interactive platform for women to discuss their unique experiences in the sector and hear from women leaders regarding industry trends and current topics.  

The goal of the summit is twofold: to make the agriculture and food sectors career destinations for today's talented women, and to provide tools for women to become more informed leaders in the industry.

When/where is the co-located event?
The events span the course of four days and will take place at the Hotel Arts, Barcelona, Spain.

The Oilseed Congress Europe/MENA will take place from 9 - 10 February 2015 and the Women in Agribusiness Summit from 11 - 12 February 2015.

The Barcelona agenda has been designed to encourage dynamic participatory discussions concerning important topics such as Opportunities for Innovation in Agribusiness; Maintaining a Sustainable Supply Chain: Doing Business Across Borders; and The Future of GMO Crops. 
 
Additional breakout sessions will focus on ag policy, strategies and best practices, and innovations across the industry supply chain.  Executive roundtable discussions with today’s ag leaders will bring the pathways to leadership in ag closer to participants across the entire value chain. 

Attendees can take advantage of scheduling that allows for consecutive attendance at both events for a more in-depth examination of the ag sector.
