Save the date to take your seat at the table at the 2019 Animal Agriculture Alliance Stakeholders Summit.
The table is where we come together to connect on May 8 and 9, 2019, in Kansas City, Mo. To engage with each other. To hear from and be heard. The conversation surrounding animal agriculture has been going on for much too long without engagement between key stakeholders in restaurant, retail and foodservice companies, farms and ranches, government agencies, agribusinesses, and agriculture and food associations. Come take your seat at the table at the 2019 Summit to learn about key issues facing food and agriculture and gain the supportive network and tools you need for success in your business.
The annual Stakeholders Summit brings top thought leaders in the industry together to discuss hot-button issues and out-of-the-box ideas. The Summit is a one-of-a-kind conference attended by a diverse group of decision makers, including representatives from farms, ranches, animal health and feed companies, food processors, restaurants, grocery stores, legislatures, universities and government agencies.
Details will be posted on the Summit website (www.AnimalAgAlliance.org/Summit) as they become available. Registration will open later this year.

Request for speakers

The Alliance is seeking presentations and panels that will provide unique and thought-provoking ideas and focus on actionable items attendees can implement related to the Summit theme. Proposals for speaking at the event will be accepted through November 10th.
