Pork producers have always focused on doing what it takes to get better: from producing safer meat to improving our environmental practices; to adopting new techniques that help us take better care of our animals. We continue each day to look for ways to improve and to build a better tomorrow.
This year's Pork Industry Forum promises some other interesting news. Producer Delegates will see how the new marketing campaign designed to refresh and reinvigorate the image of pork in the minds of US consumers introduced a year ago at this event is doing. Producers at Forum were the first to see the new campaign last year and this year they’ll be the first to see the early results.
Delegates will also be hearing about progress in the industry's We Care initiative designed to build consumer trust in the way we produce pork.
Where: Renaissance Arlington Capital View Hotel, Arlington, Virginia, US
An outcome of the conference will be the creation of a document that can be used as a resource for policy makers and others engaged in the common goal to improve and sustain animal agriculture.
It is the organisers' intention that this document will be a guide to further enhancement of efficient and sustainable farm animal production systems in order to meet the increased global demand for food by 2050.

The Minnesota Nutrition Conference provides a forum for feed industry professionals to update their knowledge of beef, dairy, poultry, swine and equine nutrition. Speakers from throughout North America bring the latest concepts in livestock feeding to the upper Midwest. Conference highlights include University of Minnesota Research Updates, and sessions on Ruminant and Non-ruminant nutrition as well as a session on Equine nutrition.
The location is to be announced.
The three shows will operate under one umbrella creating one of the largest 50 shows in the US. It is expected that the entire show will include more than 1,000 exhibitors and close to 1,000,000 square feet of exhibit space. The meat and poultry exhibits will be combined on one large show floor, and the IFE will be held in the adjacent hall. One badge will allow all attendees into any exhibit.
