Attend Our Conference

The Whole Grains Council holds a major international conference about every year and a half. We hope you'll join us at our next conference, to learn more about the health benefits of whole grains, and best ways to increase consumption.

Next Conference: Spring 2009

Our next conference will be held in the Spring of 2009. Watch this space during 2008, for an announcement of the location and agenda.

Who should attend a Whole Grains Council conference?

Our conferences highlight successes in the move to whole grains – and expose and demolish the remaining barriers to healthy whole grains. They are designed for key influencers whose better understanding of whole grain issues can affect hundreds, thousands, or millions of lives such as:

• government leaders, for perspective on packaging regulations and health policy

• marketing executives, for insight into innovative and successful promotions for whole grains

• health professionals, to learn what motivates consumer to change their food choices

• top-level journalists, for the details they need to write better stories on an important consumer issue

Your fellow attendees will be similar to those at our last three whole grains conferences.
