For its 10th edition, Grain Academy once again welcomes leading market analysts, senior industry executives, traders, processors and agribusiness leaders from across Europe and the Balkans. On 22 October 2026, they will gather at Grand Hotel Millennium Sofia, bringing together global market insight, regional knowledge and first-hand industry experience.
The newly announced speaker and panelist lineup reflects the conference’s focus on the forces shaping grain and oilseed markets across the Balkans, Southeast Europe and international markets. The discussions will bring together different perspectives on global and regional markets, trade flows, farmers’ profitability and the future of the grain and oilseeds sector.
The key theme of Grain Academy 2026 will focus on one of the most important questions facing the sector:
The programme will examine whether the prolonged bearish cycle is finally nearing its end and whether margins are set to return to grain trade and farming.
The agenda brings together three major areas of discussion.
What will move money and grain in 2026? Can the Balkan markets turn their different strengths into a regional advantage? And what will the next chapter of agribusiness in Southeast Europe look like?
Beyond the agenda, Grain Academy 2026 will feature a dedicated exhibition area with company stands, networking spaces, coffee breaks, lunch and the 10th anniversary evening party, creating more opportunities for conversations and new business connections throughout the day.
Early Bird registration is open until 6 September!
