2024 IPPE in Georgia, US, sees biggest event in history
The 2024 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) held in Atlanta, Georgia, the United States, has its largest trade show floor ever with 621,350 square feet of exhibit space and 1,427 exhibitors, according to US Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY).
This year, the event saw more than 31,000 poultry and egg, meat and animal food industry attendees representing more than 130 countries. Sponsored by the USPOULTRY, American Feed Industry Association and the Meat Institute, IPPE is touted as the world's largest event of its kind.
"The 2024 IPPE is our largest, most comprehensive event to date. We are thrilled with the excitement and energy displayed by this year’s attendees and exhibitors and the business conducted on the trade show floor," said IPPE show organisers. "The attendee and exhibitor numbers and large trade show floor continue to complement IPPE’s comprehensive education sessions, valuable networking opportunities and extensive exhibits highlighting the most current innovative technology, equipment and services for our industries."
Numerous companies had showcased their new products and services at IPPE, with all phases of the animal food, meat, and poultry and egg industries represented, from live production and processing to further processing and packaging.
A comprehensive education programme schedule also complemented the exhibits, informing industry management about the latest issues impacting the industries.
IPPE’s 2024 line-up has more than 80 hours of education sessions, including information on animal agriculture sustainability, food safety, worker safety, animal food industry trends and poultry market trends.
Other featured events include the International Poultry Scientific Forum, the Latin American Poultry Summit, Pet Food Conference, Food Safety Design Principles Workshop, Animal Agriculture Sustainability Summit, a TECHTalks programme, New Product Showcase and publisher-sponsored programmes — all of which have been great contributions to the 2024 IPPE, said its organisers.
