The International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) is excited to be back in Atlanta. IPPE’s show floor has expanded to include four halls: A Hall, B Hall, B/C Hall and C Hall; and it is the largest trade show floor ever! You will EXPERIENCE IT ALL, including the latest technology, equipment and services for your business and world-class education, while connecting with other animal food, meat, and poultry and egg professionals from around the world. It’s all at IPPE 2024.

IPPE encompasses three integrated trade shows - the International Poultry Expo, International Feed Expo and International Meat Expo - attracting industry leaders and decision makers with the latest innovations in equipment, supplies and services used in the production and processing of poultry and eggs, meat and animal food products. The event is sponsored by the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), the Meat Institute and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY).

IPPE continues to be a proven success, with the event touching all parts of your business. The investment of your time not only benefits your company, but also helps your industry’s associations work harder on your behalf.

IPPE education programs will be held from Monday, Jan. 29, 2024, through Friday, Feb. 2. The future of our industry depends on today's forward-thinking decisions. IPPE offers more than 80 hours of learning sessions from industry experts and thought leaders. Experience some of the programs you have come to expect each year, such as the International Poultry Scientific Forum (IPSF), Latin American Poultry Summit, Pet Food Conference and the International Rendering Symposium. Also, make plans to attend some of the new educational programs, including the Food Safety Design Principals Workshop; Feed Your ESG: How Feed Will Help Hit Sustainability Targets; and USDA-APHIS a Dialogue and Digest.

IPPE would like to provide a special thank you to the following sponsors that make it possible for qualified attendees from member companies of all three associations engaged in the production of poultry, eggs and meat for consumption, production of feed, and for pet food manufacturers to attend for free. The Members to Atlanta program (M2A) is supported through the sponsorship of these elite exhibiting companies: Aviagen Inc., Ceva, Cobb-Vantress LLC, Elanco Animal Health, Georgia Poultry Equipment Company, Heat and Control, Inc., Huvepharma, Jamesway, Kemin Animal Nutrition & Health - North America, Soybean Meal Information Center, Vetagro Inc. and Zoetis.
