Alltech’s fifth annual Global 500, Dec. 4-6 in Lexington, Kentucky, will feature industry experts who will address the changing future of the dairy and beef industries. In 2011, more than 700 beef and dairy producers from 32 countries attended. The event is expected to attract more than 1,000 attendees this year.
Pearse Lyons, president and founder of Alltech, said, "In a few short years we’ve managed to get some of the industry’s most successful producers to attend and get involved in discussions that are paving the way to a future of opportunity and profitability."
Producers and industry leaders will have the opportunity to network, discuss and discover new opportunities and challenges for 2013.
The program will feature presentations on branding, social media in agriculture and finding new opportunities in challenging times. Dairy producers will explore topics including breakthroughs in nutrition, strategies to manage feed costs, and emerging markets.
In addition to an array of presentations, attendees will be invited to take part in discussion dinners, breakout sessions and a number of farm tours.
"Through this event, we can explore ways to make farming more profitable and sustainable and share new strategies and technologies to make dairy and beef production more efficient," Lyons said.
The Global 500 registration fee is $325. The early registration fee is $200 if registered by Nov. 9. The registration fee includes access to all Global 500 sessions, organized functions, luncheons and dinners Dec. 4-6.
