A new
full-day Animal Protein Seminar will be offered for the first time this year at the 9th
annual Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit (Summit), which will be held
October 7-9 at the Hyatt Regency in New Orleans, La. This pre-conference
seminar is fashioned after the popular Spring Livestock, Meat, Poultry and
Dairy Conference previously organized by Informa Economics, and will provide
attendees with an outlook, delivered by industry experts, for the cattle, hog,
dairy, poultry, and egg sectors.

The
seminar will be offered on Tuesday, October 7 and is open to all registrants of
the Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit. Space in the seminar is limited, and
registration will be on a first-come, first-served basis.
This
new animal protein outlook event was born out of a recently established alliance
between HighQuest Partners, host of the Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit, and
Informa Economics that has Informa rolling their Spring Livestock and Fall
Outlook conferences into the Summit.
As a result, the Summit, which annually convenes buyers, sellers, and
global players in the oilseed, protein meal, vegetable oils and feed grains
sector, will feature richer content and more diverse networking opportunities.
Senior
commodity analysts from Informa and others will be on hand at the Animal
Protein Seminar and
Oilseed &
Grain Trade Summit to
provide their expertise and strategies for addressing the opportunities and
challenges facing the livestock, poultry, oilseed, and grain sectors in the
coming year. Particular focus will be placed on the impact that
shifting global demand and higher price expectations will have on the
livestock-derived product markets in late 2014 and beyond.
“The expectation for substantially increased
prices—the biggest jump some of these markets have ever seen—is of particular
concern to buyers,” said Informa Economics Senior Vice President Rob Murphy. “Through
a historical review, assessment of the driving factors, and guidance provided
for strategic plans, attendees at this seminar will gain the knowledge required
to effectively navigate this high-price environment.”

Beyond key sessions on the global
outlook for the cattle, hog, dairy, poultry and egg sectors, the seminar will provide
critical insights into trends in the global downstream meat market and the
implications of government policies on the animal protein production sector.
The
Oilseed & Grain Trade Summit is the largest annual industry event of its
kind. Attendees have the opportunity to share the latest information on trends
and developments in the oilseed and feed grains markets while networking with
their peers, and establishing relationships with new suppliers and clients in
order to enhance their competitive edge. Attendees hail from around the world –
the 2013 event in Minneapolis, Minn., included over 75 exhibitors and hosted
nearly 650 attendees from more than 30 U.S. states and 25 countries.
