AFIA opens registration for Equipment Manufacturers Conference

July 16, 2024 - The American Feed Industry Association (AFIA) has opened registration for its annual Equipment Manufacturers Conference (EMC), to be held November 6-8 in Bonita Springs, Florida. This year's theme is 'Feed Industry 4.0 - Leveraging Emerging Technologies.'

"We are extremely excited about this year's Equipment Manufacturers Conference and look forward to welcoming both new attendees as well as past attendees," said Gary Hiddleston, AFIA's Director of Feed Manufacturing and Regulatory Affairs. "With this year's theme centred on 'Feed Industry 4.0,' we look forward to showcasing how new technologies can drive efficiency, growth and innovation in the animal food industry."

Hosted by AFIA's Equipment Manufacturers Committee, this annual conference focuses on updating the equipment sector of the feed industry on current issues and trends, providing an environment for learning from educational speakers and industry leaders and bringing the industry together to network. The conference will feature several educational sessions on the role of artificial intelligence and emerging technologies, updates on legislative and regulatory changes being discussed in Washington, DC, and a panel discussion on how these emerging technologies can increase efficiency and productivity in the industry.

The three-day event kicks off with an annual golf tournament, which raises money for the Institute for Feed Education and Research's EMC scholarship fund, a program designed to encourage college students to consider careers in the feed or grain sciences.

Early-bird registration runs through October 4, with a discounted rate of $720 for AFIA members and $1450 for nonmembers.
