THE COMMODITIES CONFERENCE will help you and your organization get better results
The conference will bring together in one place at one time the executives who use, regulate, affect and are affected by commodity markets world-wide. The country's leading commodities experts will analyze the significant develop- ments and trends you will be faced with in 1977. Any relevant problem, any relevant question can be raised, discussed, dealt with. . . not only during floor exchanges, but at the special com- plimentary luncheons where you will be able to meet informally and exchange information with other attendees from across the country.
We have planned this program for the following purposes:
· to bring you top level corporate executives who are charged with "doing" the job of maximizing profits. They will tell you about their actual experiences and answer your specific questions.
· to let you listen to top governmental person- nel disclose governmental thinking first hand. If they don't discuss what you want to hear, please ask them.
· to gather under one roof the heads of the major exchanges, to share their ideas and plans for the future.
· to introduce you to the country's leading commodities financial experts and economists who will talk about profits, tax savings, ar- bitrage and forecasting.
This conference offers a unique opportunity for commodities people to gather practical know-how from an array of experts who pro- vide the most vital and up-to-date information in their fields. Discussion is encouraged, and every speaker is available for special comment.
The conference has been structured to en- courage maximum participation from atten- dees. Your questions and problems on the sub- jects presented can be raised, discussed and an- swered.
With continuing uncertain economic condi- tions, decision-makers require clear and critical evaluations. Yet all too often these extremely important decisions are made primarily on the basis of personal judgment, opinions, intui- tion, and previously used methods, effective or not. This conference will enable you to better understand your commodities field.
Use the team approach. Your team will have the opportunity to meet with its counterparts in companies and organizations from all over the world. As a team, you can compare notes and pool your thinking so that you can make wise decisions in the next year.

THE COMMODITIES CONFERENCE will help you and your organization get better results
The conference will bring together in one place at one time the executives who use, regulate, affect and are affected by commodity markets world-wide. The country's leading commodities experts will analyze the significant develop- ments and trends you will be faced with in 1977. Any relevant problem, any relevant question can be raised, discussed, dealt with. . . not only during floor exchanges, but at the special com- plimentary luncheons where you will be able to meet informally and exchange information with other attendees from across the country.
We have planned this program for the following purposes:
· to bring you top level corporate executives who are charged with "doing" the job of maximizing profits. They will tell you about their actual experiences and answer your specific questions.
· to let you listen to top governmental person- nel disclose governmental thinking first hand. If they don't discuss what you want to hear, please ask them.
· to gather under one roof the heads of the major exchanges, to share their ideas and plans for the future.
· to introduce you to the country's leading commodities financial experts and economists who will talk about profits, tax savings, ar- bitrage and forecasting.
This conference offers a unique opportunity for commodities people to gather practical know-how from an array of experts who pro- vide the most vital and up-to-date information in their fields. Discussion is encouraged, and every speaker is available for special comment.
The conference has been structured to en- courage maximum participation from atten- dees. Your questions and problems on the sub- jects presented can be raised, discussed and an- swered.
With continuing uncertain economic condi- tions, decision-makers require clear and critical evaluations. Yet all too often these extremely important decisions are made primarily on the basis of personal judgment, opinions, intui- tion, and previously used methods, effective or not. This conference will enable you to better understand your commodities field.
Use the team approach. Your team will have the opportunity to meet with its counterparts in companies and organizations from all over the world. As a team, you can compare notes and pool your thinking so that you can make wise decisions in the next year.
