Poultry and feed industry leaders throughout the United States and around the world are making plans to travel to Atlanta for the 2011 International Poultry Expo and International Feed Expo, January 26-28. The Expo has set the world standard since its inception in 1948. It is sponsored by U.S. Poultry & Egg Association and the American Feed Industry Association.
The Expo is the annual must-attend event for poultry and feed industry management, and it is the global marketplace for purchasing decision makers. In 2010, the show attracted 19,000 attendees from all over the United States and 100 other countries. The main attraction was the giant exhibit floor, featuring 800 exhibiting companies displaying the latest technology, equipment, supplies, and services for every segment of poultry and egg production and processing and feed manufacturing.
The 2011 show will feature even more exhibits and a comprehensive line-up of education programs that will keep industry management up to date on important issues. The International Poultry Scientific Forum is scheduled Monday and Tuesday. Expo education sessions will begin Tuesday with USPOULTRY’s Hatchery-Breeder Clinic, new for 2011. It is moving from the meeting’s traditional July dates to January. The move will allow more hatchery and breeder flock managers to attend the show and see the latest equipment for their operations.
The Animal Agriculture Sustainability Summit and Pet Food Conference also will kick off Tuesday. Other programs Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday will include a special Salmonella and Campylobacter Reduction Conference, the popular Poultry Market Intelligence Forum, USPOULTRY Industry Education Program, a Feed Manufacturing Education Program, and other issue-specific sessions.
