Are you planning to join us at the Hyatt Boston Harbor on November 9-11 for our conference called Whole Grains: Breaking Barriers?  If you've put off registering figuring you could make plans at the last minute, here's some advice: this IS the last minute! We're nearing our target of 150 attendees, and there are only 14 hotel rooms left (and even these are at an overflow hotel nearby!)

This year's conference has garnered unprecedented interest from media, health professionals and WGC members due to the all-star lineup of speakers on some of the grain industry's hottest topics. What are the facts about gluten? Has modern wheat really changed radically? How do sprouting and fermentation change wheat and other grains? How are consumer attitudes to whole grains evolving? What marketing messages make sense? How do we fight carb phobia with facts? 

You can see our full agenda of topics and speakers here.  Take a look -- then register today for the conference AND reserve your hotel room.  Our discounted room block at the Hyatt sold out weeks ago, and the new room block we subsequently arranged at the Hilton (just 0.7mi away, with shuttle service) now has just 14 rooms left. You know you need to attend this conference to keep up with today's trends and questions, and you know you don't want to sleep on a park bench. So make your plans now. Remember: the first registration from each WGC member is free.
