Registration has opened for the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) Purchasing and Ingredient Suppliers Conference (PISC), happening in-person August 17-19 in Orlando, Fla. This three-day 'must attend' program includes education and networking events for hundreds of feed ingredient buyers and sellers across the animal food manufacturing industry.
'We are thrilled to once again offer the feed industry the opportunity to make new connections and learn strategies that drive business,' says Veronica Rovelli, AFIA's senior director of meetings and events. 'PISC provides a perfect venue for industry members to foster and deepen relationships with their suppliers and clients, many of whom have been unable to travel over the past year due to COVID-19. We look forward to safely being back on the road seeing our members and making new acquaintances.'
In addition to the networking events, conference attendees will hear presentations on myriad topics, including: navigating the plant-based product trend, communicating with consumers using 'agvocacy,' managing the threat of foreign animal diseases, such as African swine fever, understanding the current trade and political landscape, forecasting the grain and economic outlooks and more.
The conference will also host a Suppliers Showcase where AFIA member suppliers will have the opportunity to highlight their products and services.
PISC will take place in-person at the Hyatt Regency Grand Cypress in Orlando, but may look different than in years past due to the AFIA's commitment to providing a safe environment for attendees in light of the ongoing coronavirus pandemic.
Those who are unable to travel may have an option to participate virtually by contacting register@afia.org.
