IPE 2008 to provide meeting rooms for buyers and sellers

Next year's International Poultry Expo (IPE) will feature a programme that would allow buyers and suppliers to meet in a neutral environment, according to the show's organizers the US Poultry & Egg Association.

The Buyer Connection programme at IPE would allow members of the organisations to meet in a neutral, professional setting at the show with suppliers who are exhibiting, said Charlie Olentine, executive vice president of the US Poultry & Egg Association.

Attendees who utilize the Buyer Connection Programme would be able to meet in rooms in the C-Hall of the Georgia World Congress Center. There will be no charge, and the rooms are available on a first-come first-served basis for reservations.

The Buyer Connection area will also have a phone, fax, wireless capabilities and a receptionist.
