Most participant organizations are international agribusiness firms having annual sales of US$100 Million to US$5 Billion. This is truly an international executive meeting with over 40% of 2007 attendees residing in, or having managerial responsibility for, markets outside North America.

The international focus will be facilitated by our use of global case studies and by attendance of international participants. English will be the spoken and written language.
Faculty members are selected not only on their expertise in the required subject matter expertise, but also for their ability to lead discussions at a level appropriate for senior executives.

Company Benefit

The Agribusiness Summit is designed to provide knowledge that can be readily implemented upon return to the organization, providing an immediate return on your investment. The faculty members (and participants) are chosen because they are recognized as thought leaders and possess fresh experience with Food Chain issues. In case based learning, the discussion dynamics with other participants are also a large part of the learning experience. For this reason, great care is also taken to get a diverse class that offers a wide variety of agribusiness experience, which tends to produce richer discussion and learning opportunities. AgGlobalVision believes that this balanced approach leads to gaining knowledge and insight that is implementation-ready; it’s one of the reasons why over 90% of the 2007 class gave the Agribusiness Summit the highest rating possible in overall satisfaction.
