Lambregts will also discuss key economic indicators, policy moves, and market dynamics to reveal who truly holds the cards in today’s rapidly shifting environment.

Thursday’s general session will focus on the future of North American agricultural trade, with experts offering insights on the upcoming review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement and on how recent policy actions have impacted trade within the region.

USMEF’s international team will also be on hand to discuss market conditions in key regions and detail the creative strategies utilized to boost demand and strengthen partnership engagement.

In addition to the general sessions, the Beef, Pork, Exporter and Feedgrain/Oilseed breakouts will offer detailed discussions on topics pertinent to each sector. All registrants are welcome and encouraged to participate in any breakout sessions, regardless of their membership sector.
