Millers head to New Orleans for 121st IAOM
Conference & Expo
Hundreds of milling professionals from across the world will be attending the 121st
International Association of Operative Millers' Annual Conference & Expo April 10-14 at
the New Orleans Marriott and the New Orleans Ernest N. Morial Convention Center in
New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.
The event will feature comprehensive education programs, opportunities to connect
with industry peers at networking events and the chance to meet with vendors offering
the latest products and services during the Expo.
Educational and technical programs presented at the conference assist millers in
improving yields, productivity, customer satisfaction and safety. The programs are
presented by seasoned professionals in the field who have experienced the issues
affecting millers first-hand. Sessions will be divided into four tracts: product protection,
technical operations, employee management and specialty milling.
The Expo is one of the largest for milling professionals and typically features more than
100 companies displaying milling and processing equipment and related services.
The 32nd annual Milling Operative of the Year award will be presented on April 13
during the IAOM Banquet and Awards Ceremony. The winner will receive an inscribed
plaque, and a scholarship will be established in the winner's name at Kansas State
University in Manhattan, Kansas, U.S. Established in 1986 by Milling & Baking News,
sister publication of World Grain, the award is presented to the practicing milling
operative who has made the most significant contribution to the progress of a plant, a
company and the industry from an operating point of view.
John "Dub" Miner, Shawnee Milling Company, Shawnee, Oklahoma, U.S., was the
recipient of the 2016 award.
