Celebrating its 43rd year in 2014, the Banff Pork Seminar's time-tested formula of big-picture thinking and practical "take home" information still has its finger on the pulse of a pork community looking for solutions in an increasingly uncertain world.

The goal is to provide a snapshot of the production, trade, financial and market challenges facing the industry at this point in time. Although these sessions tackle the pork industry from a number of different angles, their common denominator is that they are all grounded in a fundamental concern for the profitability of the pork industry. The sessions are set up so that attendees can select the options most relevant to them.

When it comes to networking, it makes sense that the biggest "bang for your buck" comes from attending events where key industry players are in the same place at the same time. With several hundred industry participants from around the globe attending every year, including industry leaders from all sectors supplying the pork industry, the Banff Pork Seminar is a premier conference and is not to be missed, say the organisers.

The seminar takes place in Banff, Alberta, Canada on 21 to 23 January 2014.
