SSGA encourages businesses to tell their story through sponsorship at Identity Preserved International Summit

Specialty Soya and Grains Alliance (SSGA) is excited to once again host the Identity Preserved International Summit Feb. 18-20, 2025, in Honolulu, Hawaii. The Summit serves as an ample opportunity to bring together exporters, buyers, sellers and more.

Coming on the heels of a year that saw outstanding participation, with nearly 200 attendees, the Summit has a global reputation that resonated with eight states and 50 foreign buyers in 2023. Many company leaders who attended last year saw continued benefits spill into 2024, with a boost in business.

“The Summit is a business-to-business meeting. It isn’t an ‘ideas’ meeting, it’s a ‘grow your business’ meeting,” said Eric Wenberg, SSGA executive director.

The Summit will cover transportation, seed and certifications, equipment, Asia business and trade updates, testing and protocols and market forecasts. Its location in Honolulu, Hawaii, was carefully chosen, since it’s often seen as the gateway to Asia and is a six-hour flight from Tokyo, and seven hours from Seoul.

“Our buyers come and stay at the show because the content is focused on what they want,” Wenberg said. “That makes the company exporters happy, and thus helps your business as you watch the trends.”

Sponsorship opportunities range from $500 to the Summit Sponsor at $25,000, which offers numerous opportunities to market your business and share your business story on the SSGA website and newsletter. Sponsorship packages also include the chance to get a discounted registration rate on additional attendees to the Summit.

“When it comes to support, we need businesses like yours to make this event such a success,” Wenberg said. “When you commit now that secures your business in getting the maximum exposure.”
