Pig and Poultry Interactive Forums and Workshops: Industry Outlook
An innovative programme of forums and workshops hosted by industry experts will provide you with valuable information and advice to take back to your business, and help you overcome the challenges facing your sector.
Headlining the forum programme will be a feed debate bringing together all members of the supply chain, not only tackling the topical issue of feed but also discussing the future of the sectors.
The workshop programme will cater for smaller audiences and offer practical advice covering a variety of topics, including dedicated workshops for small-scale pig producers and new opportunities for poultry producers.
The forums and workshops are free and open to all visitors, located between exhibition halls 1 and 2.
