“We are pleased again to be chosen as part of the International Buyer Program. This is our 11th year participating in the program, which provides confirmation of the global scale of our trade show. Since 2006, our attendance from outside the US has grown by more than 240 percent. We look forward to welcoming international buyers to the 2018 IPPE,” said IPPE show organisers.

The 2018 IPPE has already surpassed 515,000 square feet of exhibit space and has secured more than 1,115 exhibitors with seven months remaining until the Expo opens.

Comprised of the three integrated trade shows – International Feed Expo, International Meat Expo and International Poultry Expo – IPPE will be held Tuesday through Thursday, Jan. 30 – Feb. 1, 2018, at the Georgia World Congress Centre in Atlanta.

The Expo will highlight the latest technology, equipment and services used in the production and processing of feed, meat and poultry products.
