Grain Journal

Thank you to the attendees, exhibitors and sponsors who helped make CONVEY’26 the largest event in the conference’s 17-year history.

Beyond the educational sessions and trade show, CONVEY offered an opportunity for professionals to reconnect with longtime colleagues, build new relationships and exchange ideas with others who understand the challenges of the industry. That sense of connection and camaraderie is a big part of what makes the event valuable.

For those looking for more safety and operations information, our recent webinar with CCS Group is now available online. Hayes Guillot explains how drones and ground-penetrating radar can help facilities identify hidden damage, reduce confined space entry and make more informed repair decisions.

Thank you for making CONVEY’26 one to remember. We look forward to continuing to share the people, ideas and solutions moving the industry forward.

More than 1,000 reports in one year.

That’s what happened after Joe Mlynek helped launch a companywide near-miss reporting program for an agribusiness company with about 2,500 employees.

In his latest Grain Journal column, Joe shares why near-miss reporting works best when the focus is on learning, not blame. When employees feel comfortable reporting what almost happened, organizations can uncover exposures, share lessons across locations and address hazards before they become incidents.

Next week at CONVEY'26, Joe will bring that same practical safety perspective as part of the Rolling Stock Fall Protection Best Practices panel.

The panel will cover feasible solutions, equipment and training strategies for managing the hazards of accessing railcars and other rolling stock.

Grain safety is built on the details people notice before something goes wrong.

In his latest Grain Journal column, Joe Mlynek of Progressive Safety Solutions explains why understanding Class II hazardous locations and using properly rated electrical equipment matter in combustible dust environments.

You can read Joe’s safety insight in every issue of Grain Journal — and this August, you can hear from him at CONVEY’26.

Joe will be part of the Rolling Stock Fall Protection Best Practices panel, where safety professionals will discuss feasible solutions, equipment and training strategies for managing the unique hazards of accessing railcars and other rolling stock.

If safety, maintenance or operations are part of your role, CONVEY’26 is where you’ll want to be. The premier safety event brings together the people, topics and solutions shaping safer, more efficient facilities.
