The event will feature the "Angus University", renowned industry speakers, association meetings and trade show.

The American Angus Association is an organization with 25,000 members, with more than 70,000 affiliate members. From New York to California, and everywhere in between, the Angus breed comprises nearly 70 percent of the nation's cow herd.

Bryce Schumann, CEO of the Angus Association says, "We expect people from all sectors of the beef industry to join us in Kansas City – seedstock producers, commercial cattlemen, feedlot operators and much more. Between educational events, keynote speakers, social activities and an expansive trade show, the Association believes this will be the breed's premier event of the year."

Bruce Button, vice president and general manager of Lee Trade Shows Inc. says, "The American Angus Association represents the best known brand in the beef industry. This event will bring some of the country's premier beef producers together for a first-class convention and trade show.

"We bring to the association the experience of producing over 200 trade shows, with most of them focused on agriculture. Our goal is to make this the most productive event in the industry for marketers and producers alike."
