REGISTRATION CLOSES - 4.00pm WEDNESDAY 14TH OCTOBER

After the inevitable cancellation of the Association’s annual dinner we are delighted that Mark Feight will be hosting this year’s Rob Fisher Memorial Seminar on line. In the 1990’s Mark and his co-founder Rob Fisher set up International Agribusiness Group LLC (IAG) which is an independent consultancy firm working with businesses exposed to agricultural commodity price risks. Sadly, Rob passed away suddenly in 2014 and the Association took the decision to name the annual commodities seminar in his memory.

Mark has been a leading consultant to the agricultural industry for over 30 years helping individuals, companies, organisations and governments make better decisions providing expert risk management and unique marketing concepts. He has published a number of industry related articles and his numerous speaking engagements include testifying before the U.S. Senate Ag Committee regarding the 1995 Farm Bill.

Mark’s thoughts and market predictions at this uncertain time will no doubt make for an interesting seminar which will be a great opportunity to gain valuable insight and knowledge.

This year has been a very difficult one for everybody especially charities, some of whom have seen their income drop dramatically. Although the annual dinner and our other fundraising events have been cancelled, the Association is keen to carry on supporting charities as much as possible. The seminar is once again free to all who wish to attend but we would be delighted if you felt able to make a voluntary donation which we could add to the funds we have available to help charities.

Please use the link below to register your interest in this event. 

A link for joining will be sent out to all registered parties week commencing Monday 12 October

Ben Fisher joined the company in 2003 and is one of three lead consultants who combined have over 80 years of experience in global markets and research.  They provide private consultancy services for a wide range of global clients as well as speaking engagements and regular industry reporting.

For further information about the company, please visit their website http://iag-group.com.

The Association was delighted when Ben Fisher agreed to present this year's seminar and although it will be the first time he has done so, Ben has regularly been instrumental on previous seminars by ensuring the data is as accurate as possible, even sending new data over as the seminar has progressed.

This seminar is free to everyone who is attending the Annual Dinner and it is an unique opportunity to gain valuable knowledge for free!!
