WHY ATTEND?
Ihave attended the NIOP Annual Convention for many years now. It’s truly the signature event for the North
American oils/oilseed industry to gather. NIOP CON is an invaluable forum and “onestop-shop” to gain access to all the major players in our trade From producers to end users and everyone in between. Importers, distributors, shippers, logistics suppliers, brokers, industry consultants, they’re all there.
Iattend the NIOP conference because it’s one of the best opportunities to connect face-to-face with current customers and meet potential new ones.
I also enjoy the balance of business and pleasure at the convention. There’s plenty of areas within the convention resort that are exclusive to NIOP attendees to schedule meetings, while the NIOP staff does a great job of arranging informative and topical speaker sessions, and fun events and social receptions where the mood is relaxed and the camaraderie flourishes.
The setting and the weather are always gorgeous. I look forward to seeing old colleagues and new attendees at the 2026 NIOP CON in Scottsdale, Arizona next March I always come away with more knowledge and more key industry contacts than when I arrived. I know you will too.

The event consistently features outstanding speakers who provide critical insights into the vegetable oil markets, helping us stay informed and competitive. It’s not just a conference it feels like a homecoming for those of us who’ve been attending for years The sense of community and shared experience among industry professionals is truly special.
Each year, the location is thoughtfully chosen, offering great amenities and activities like golf or pickleball for those looking to unwind. The relaxed setting makes networking more natural and enjoyable It’s also a spouse-friendly event, which makes it even more enjoyable and inclusive for those traveling with partners.
I always leave with new market insight, stronger relationships, and a better understanding of industry trends. It’s a must-attend for anyone serious about staying current in the vegetable oil industry. Whether you're a seasoned attendee or considering it for the first time, NIOP delivers value on every level.
