Alltech ONE Conference closes with themes of innovation and resilience

The Alltech ONE Conference (ONE) wrapped up on May 25 in Lexington, Kentucky, the United States, following a robust agenda of in-person and virtual activities and presentations.

ONE welcomed nearly 2,000 international delegates in person, with an additional 5,000 participating virtually. Now in its 38th year, this world-class event brought inspiring keynote speakers and more than 100 industry leaders to the stage, sharing valuable insights in live workshops and focus tracks and uncovering the challenges and opportunities in agriculture, business, health and wellness, and professional development.

"We must unify and take action, today, for the future of agriculture and our planet," said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and chief executive officer of Alltech. "Together, we have the collective courage and impact to work together for a Planet of Plenty™."

During the closing session, Lyons presented the Alltech Humanitarian Award, an award that is bestowed annually to someone of strong character who uses their platform to positively influence and inspire those around them, to Mick Ebeling, founder and CEO of Not Impossible Labs, and world-class blind adventurer Erik Weihenmayer. 

As Lyons closed, he noted a mantra often repeated by his father.

"Don’t get it right. Get it going … And he was right! It’s not about perfectionism, it’s about progress," Lyons remarked. "If we change the lens and the way we look at things, we can change the way we think."

The Alltech ONE Conference will return on May 21–23, 2023.
