Over 300 leaders and decision makers from egg businesses across the world are gathered in Vienna, Austria, this week for the International Egg Commission’s Business Conference. During the next two days delegates will hear from industry experts and business leaders, as they discuss the latest trends and issues affecting the international egg industry.
Former EU Commissioner of Agriculture, Dr Franz Fischler and former ALDI Board Member and CEO, Johann Morwald will open the conference sessions on Monday morning. Dr Fischler will provide invaluable insights into EU policy and the impact on supply price and stability of feed grains, and Johann Morwald will discuss retailer expectations for the food industry.
IEC Chairman, Cesar de Anda, officially opened the conference on Sunday evening; he welcomed over 300 delegates from 30 different countries. 2014 is a significant year for the IEC, as it celebrates its 50thanniversary; to mark this milestone, the organisation will be celebrating its past while looking to the future of the industry.

to discuss the incredible strengths that our product, the egg, and our industry has to offer the world; we will also learn ways in which our businesses can become even more effective. We have a fantastic line up of speakers from across the value chain ready to share their knowledge with us on subjects ranging from retailer expectations and egg marketing, to animal influenza and the very latest research into genetics.”
