IPPE-2015

Exhibit sales are currently underway. IPPE is currently processing priority assignments as quickly as possible and hope to open exhibit sales to companies that did not exhibit in 2014 and other new prospects by the end of March. At that time, you will find an active live floorplan, exhibit space application and everything you need to be a part of this unique exhibit opportunity. If you need immediate assistance now though, please email Anne Sculthorpe at asculthorpe@ippexpo.org or Eric Zito at ezito@meatami.com, and they will contact you as soon as possible to assist you in your booth selection!

The International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) is a collaboration of three shows - International Poultry Expo, International Feed Expo, and International Meat Expo - representing the entire chain of protein production and processing.

In 2013, more than 26,000 trade visitors from over 110 countries came to Atlanta, Georgia, to see the range of products and services offered by over 1,180 exhibitors. There were 5,448 international visitors represented at the expo, and the largest group from a single country outside the United States was Canada. The largest region represented was Latin America / Caribbean.

The event is sponsored by U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY), the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), and the American Meat Institute (AMI).

The International Production and Processing Expo represents animal agriculture, from farm to point-of-sale, combining the networking and educational resources of the American Feed Industry Association, American Meat Institute, and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association. Comprised of the three integrated tradeshows -- International Poultry Expo, International Feed Expo, and International Meat Expo -- IPPE features the world`s largest annual gathering of industry leaders and the most comprehensive display of the latest technology, equipment, supplies, and services used by poultry, feed, and meat companies.

For the poultry industry specifically, the International Poultry Expo is the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association`s annual signature event. The funds generated from the International Poultry Expo are reinvested back into the industry in the form of research grants, educational programs, communications, and technical assistance that benefit all segments of the industry.
