NEW ORLEANS, LA – Early registration is now open for the upcoming 2015 USA Rice Outlook Conference that will be held here December 9-11.  The conference is the largest rice industry annual meeting, and this year’s expanded programming will feature presentations from industry experts, an extensive exhibit hall, and offsite interactive learning sessions.

In addition to keynote speakers Mary Matalin and James Carville, attendees will hear from the co-founder of the Commodity Weather Group, Joel Widenor; farm management expert Dick Wittman; economist Dr. David Kohl; and ag policy guru Jim Wiesemeyer.

Feature programming also includes “A Conversation with Louisiana Congressman Dr. Ralph Abraham,” and an exciting panel discussion on “The Future of Food and What it Means for Rice,” with futurist Mike Lee, founder and CEO of Studio Industries, and rice end users.

The Annual USA Rice Awards Luncheon and state rice outlooks and research reports round out the packed program.

The hotel room block at the Sheraton New Orleans is also open and rooms are going fast, as are exhibiting and sponsorship opportunities.  Registration rates will increase on November 6, so anyone interested in attending is encouraged to act quickly.
