In 2012 and beyond, there may be no more important global economic and security issue than food supply and demand. This year, as always, the INTL FCStone Outlook Conference will place a particular emphasis on the U.S. and global dairy outlook, but also will provide invaluable insight into every major food commodity, including wheat, corn, soybeans, soft commodities and meats and livestock - as well as energy, interest rates, currencies, and weather in the major growing regions of the world. And this year, we'll be adding exciting new features, including panels on softs and farm policy, and more emphasis than ever on the legislative and economic challenges facing the dairy industry. As in past years, we'll be featuring some of the top economists and analysts in the business - a full agenda with speakers will be available soon.

Who should attend?

General, Finance, Operations, Purchasing, and Sales Managers, and industry participants who are seeking insight that will help them make strategic decisions.
