2026 Commodity Classroom
2026-08-03 08:00 - 2026-08-04 17:00 | Hilton Garden Inn Milwaukee Downtown, 611 North Broadway, Milwaukee, WI, 53202, United States
Commodity Classroom is for anyone looking to gain a better understanding of grain marketing. In our mind, that includes grain merchandisers, farm managers, crop insurance agents, farmers young and old, agribusiness professionals. Anyone who either farms, or works with farmers on the financial side of the business has something to learn here.
You do NOT need to be a beginner, and you do NOT need to be an expert. We develop the materials to be broadly applicable to a wide range of marketing ‘expertise’, if there is such a thing. We discuss both the tangible side of marketing, ie tools and process, and the emotional/mental side, ie marketing plan and management.
In partnership with: CME Group, StoneX, RJO’Brien, Momentum Ag
Event held at the Historic Hilton Garden Inn Downtown Milwaukee, built in 1866 in the heart of the city. Walking distance from the Milwaukee River, shopping and dining.
Join us Monday night for a networking social with dinner and drinks provided. We will do a boat cruise on the Milwaukee River and Lake Michigan enjoying the views.
Brewers/Pirates Game on Tuesday – This is always a Commodity Classroom favorite! A great buffet and two drinks are included as we watch from the Northwestern Mutual Legends Club.
