Learning, connecting, discovering – this is the slogan for the annual Convey Conference, which is organized by the Grain Elevator and Processing Society (GEAPS), the National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) and the GEAPS Media Group (GMG). If we approach the return of Convey in Omaha, NE, we will explore the unique possibilities and solutions for real world that this event has to offer.
LEARN
Convey'25 is reworked and processed for grain employees and managers in order to obtain practical knowledge and training courses, best practice and aspiring industry trends. The sessions conducted by experts cover topics that shape the future of grain operations, including the latest security protocols, technological advances and operating strategies.
“Building on the success of Convey'24, we are looking forward to offering an even more dynamic and comprehensive program this year,” says Jess McCluer, Safety and regulatory authority from NGFA-Senior Vice President. “We look forward to welcoming both the return and the new participants to an extraordinary experience.”
Let's take a look at the Convey'25 list of educational opportunities.

Workshop: Overview of the standard standard of the Osha cereals, 29 CFR 1910.272
This event is brand new for the 2025 conference. In the afternoon before the opening reception, you take part in a detailed session to the Osha regulations, which focus on the requirements for the control of grain border, cereals explosions and dangers in connection with the entry in trash can, silos and tanks. This session offers an overview of how you are safe, secure work and prevent preventive maintenance for these industry -specific regulations.

Importance of security and its effects within the operations
It is no secret that grain elevator operations with high risk and dangerous conditions with proper management of high risks and dangerous conditions include. Unique dangers such as grain clasp and covering, flammable dust explosions, from considerable heights, machine -related injuries and many others can lead to serious accidents, injuries or deaths. The constantly developing progress in security protocols are crucial to minimize these risks that could quickly become fatal.
Dust reduction best management practices
Cereal dust is very flammable. In the right concentration in the air, even a small spark – from machines, static stream or friction – can cause a strong explosion. Furniture design, danger reviews and emergency reactions are among the topics treated in this session.
Dust risk analysis for existing assets and future designs
A DHA (DHA) dust is a formal evaluation process with which the fire and explosion risks connected to combustible dust are identified and approached. Why is a detailed DHA valuable for institutions (under NFPA 660) (under NFPA 660?
Grain elevator design
There are several key components of the design that are of crucial importance for safe, efficient and reliable operation. These are tailored to the needs of both grain handling and the grain processing industry and can vary depending on the size, location and goods. This session offers strategies to prevent explosions, to comply with regulations and to maintain the air quality at important dusculos amounts such as the receipt of pits, sponsors and bucket lifts.
Security culture and employee loyalty
These two components are absolutely critical for grain elevator operation. A number of common values benefit from the facility by empowering employees, taking responsibility for security, strengthening awareness and reaction of danger, and promoting reporting and continuous improvement. Strength in culture and commitment is directly related to the extent of enthusiasm and engagement that employees have in both their work and in their organization.
Emergency provision and reaction
In emergencies such as fires, dust explosions or grain cladding, every second is affairs. A well -balanced emergency plan helps employees know quickly and safely how they can behave. This session will immerse yourself in components of a well -coordinated plan to remedy the unique risks of these operations. This includes prevention and willingness, emergency measures and measures after the event.
Return on Investment: Automation in Security
Automation reduces the risk of human errors through consistently safety -critical tasks and reduces the likelihood of incorrect warnings or delayed answers. For example, real-time monitoring sensors and alarm systems enable quick intervention before the conditions become dangerous. Automation can trigger alarms, lockouts or ventilation systems. Some Hazard monitoring technology for grain stores include drones, location analysis and automated means of transport.

Security culture: Lessons learned
Although we hope that acceptance or actual security incidents will never occur, abstract risks make up first -hand accounts. This session will dive into the spirit of a retired general manager in the grain and feed industry. These real knowledge not only shape more secure behaviors, but also strengthen the common values and the accountability obligation that define a strong security culture.
Human organizational performance
We are all people. We make mistakes. It is not an if, but when and when you happen, it can be as important as you are treated to remedy. This session focuses on how and why employees make mistakes or errors and answers from both organizational and individual perspective.
Shuttle loading and rail safety
The shuttle pollution, which, as we know, is the fast-moving, highly volume process, requires critical attention to detail in order to maintain safe and efficient operation. In this session, dangers in the train station are reduced that may damage personnel, equipment or goods. The most important security concerns include moving lanes, limited visibility, slips and falls, falls from train trolleys and equipment such as derailments or mechanical failures.
CONNECT
In addition to education, networking is of central importance for the identity of Convey'25. Breaks are planned during the entire event to walk the specialist exhibition floor and connect with exhibitors. Dozens of companies take the trip to Omaha to present state-of-the-art solutions and must-know technologies in order to promote the industry.
The extended networking events offer invaluable knowledge and connections for grain, feed and processing experts. Regardless of whether you only register for the conference or add the OSHA workshop, the employees at Geps, GMG and NGFA are happy to welcome you.
“Convey'25 provides that, according to which everyone is addicted – real conversations about security, automation, regulation and workforce that are supported by people and solutions that are promoting the company,” says Glen Gudino, President of GEAPS Media Group, publisher of Grain Journal. “Regardless of whether you carry out facilities, solve technical problems or make investment decisions, the most important discussions will take place here.”
DISCOVER
Finally, most recently but not least – discover the pillar of invaluable effects of convey'25. This event is not a chance of education and networking. Rather, over the course of three days of implementation, the insights into safety, automation, compliance with regulations and the development of the workforce promotes.
By merging grain and processing of experts for meetings conducted by experts, practical training and networking opportunities can grow new ideas. It is intentional that the participants deal with industry experts and colleagues to discuss challenges and discover unique ways to promote progress in this area.
Thousands of experts in the industry have rely on the Convey conference to stay up to date in one of the fastest growing segments in the industry. “For those who are employed in the areas of surgery and environmental, health and security, Convey'25 is a muss-conference,” says John Caupert, Executive Director of Eaps.
“With a special focus on security, complemented how automation and technology improve security, there is something for everyone at Convey'25,” he adds.
