Speakers Bureau

While Informa Economics executives are not available for commodity outlook presentations or other research work for which our clients are paying, there are numerous subject areas of broad interest to food and agriculture we are prepared to address for outside groups or organizations -- both public and private.

We are also prepared to consider customized addresses on specific topics, based on expertise accumulated by our staff over the years, provided the topic does not conflict with work clients have paid us to do for their benefit exclusively.  And should you require expertise in a specific area of food and agriculture where we know of experts with more focus in that area, we can recommend third party speakers for a simple "finder's fee."
