Registration for Export Exchange 2026 is officially open and available online. This year’s event will be held in Seattle, WA, Oct. 15-17.
The U.S. Grains & BioProducts Council (USGBC), Growth Energy and the Renewable Fuels Association (RFA) are co-sponsoring the event and encourage U.S. suppliers of coarse grains and co-products, industry representatives and members of the grain trade to register.
The biennial event is expected to bring together 200 international buyers and end-users of coarse grains and co-products, including distiller’s dried grains with solubles (DDGS), with approximately 300 U.S. suppliers and agribusiness representatives.
Council, Growth Energy and RFA members are eligible for discounted pricing during online registration.
“Export Exchange is the Council’s flagship event and always attracts a diverse and influential audience from the global agricultural industry,” said Mark Wilson, USGBC chairman.
“The Council and its partners are proud to host this event and provide a platform for U.S. producers and exporters to meet international buyers and make lasting business connections.”
Previous editions of the conference have each resulted in hundreds of millions of dollars in sales of grains and co-products traded on-site or immediately following the event.
In addition to networking opportunities, the event will focus on timely topics related to exports of U.S. corn, sorghum, barley, DDGS and related products. Council-sponsored trade teams from more than 30 countries will also be in attendance, participating in tours before and after the main conference.
More information will be distributed in the coming months to members of the grains industries and will be made available online at reg.eventmobi.com/export-exchange-2026 or on social media using the hashtag #ExEx26.
