ARLINGTON, VA – The largest rice-specific event in North America is returning to the number one rice-producing state in the U.S. for what is sure to be the largest USA Rice Outlook Conference ever, and registration is now open.
The event that draws farmers, millers, merchants, end-users, exporters, academics, government officials, and special guests will take place December 8-10, 2024, at the Statehouse Convention Center in Little Rock, Arkansas.
Featuring a 40,000 square foot exhibit hall with the newest products and services for attendees, plus three education stages set to deliver 20 hours of programming, this year’s conference is not to be missed.
The opening keynote speaker at the General Session is Lieutenant Colonel Dan Rooney, a decorated F-16 pilot, PGA pro golfer, and founder of Folds of Honor, the charitable organization that steps in to provide life-changing scholarships to the spouses and children of America’s fallen or disabled military, and first responders.
Another highlight of the event is the Annual Awards Luncheon, presented by Rice Farming Magazine, Horizon Ag, and USA Rice, that this year will feature a closing keynote address from Alyson Van Hooser, a renowned leadership expert who will share her incredible story and what adversity can teach us all about being the best we can be.
Registration is now open and discounted rates are in effect; the official hotel of the USA Rice Outlook Conference is the Statehouse Marriott and the room block is already filling up; and inquiries for the Exhibit Hall and sponsorship opportunities are pouring in.
Be an early bird, we all know what happens.
