The Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS) has opened registration for its Leadership Conference June 14-15, 2023, at the Holiday Inn Portland-Columbia Riverfront in Portland, Oregon.
With a theme of Building Leadership Excellence, the two-day conference is designed to provide attendees with leadership skills usable at any management level. Attendees will hear from expert presenters on industry topics, network with industry colleagues and gain leadership skills.
This is GEAPS first in-person leadership conference since 2019. Visit geaps.com/leadershipconference to register for the conference and arrange discounted lodging through GEAPS.
Formerly known as GLEAN, the leadership conference will cover topics including:
- On the Front Lines of Leadership
- Proactively Managing Conflict
- Leading Through Change
Conference will also include a supplier showcase
New this year, GEAPS Leadership Conference will also include an opportunity to meet with industry vendors in the supplier showcase. While unlike the annual expo at GEAPS Exchange, this will be an opportunity for vendors to connect with customers and for leadership attendees to ask questions and imagine possibilities in a more intimate tradeshow setting.
Bob Klare, EDG Inc., serves on GEAPS board of directors and plans to go to the Leadership Conference as both an attendee and an exhibitor.
“After a couple of years of virtual events, I’m excited for this year’s Leadership Conference in the Pacific Northwest,” Klare said. “The ability to connect with GEAPS and industry leaders face to face is a highlight of the event for me. As a board member, I am looking forward to thanking our industry suppliers for supporting the event by exhibiting at our table-top trade show.”
