Speaking Opportunities

IAOM’s annual conference is the premier education event in the milling and grain process industries. Each year, approximately 30 professionals from the milling industry share their professional expertise and time in order to add to the profession and increase their visibility and credibility with their colleagues.

The IAOM Program Committee invites you to submit an application or make a recommendation for the Educational Program or for the Product Showcase at the 128th IAOM Conference and Expo in Salt Lake City, Utah. The Educational Program is divided into five different tracks: technical operations, employee management, product protection, and facility management.
