The Expo has taken part in the International Buyer Programme since 2007. The programme brings trade delegations together from around the world and helps pair international attendees with American suppliers.

“We are pleased to be chosen as part of the International Buyer Programme for the 10th year in a row. Programme participation is confirmation of the global scale of our Expo. Since 2006, our attendance from outside the US has grown by almost 240 per cent,” said IPPE show organisers.

The 2017 IPPE has already surpassed 500,000 square feet of exhibit space and has secured more than 1,035 exhibitors with seven months remaining until the Expo opens in January.

Comprised of the three integrated trade shows –International Feed Expo, International Meat Expo and International Poultry Expo – IPPE will be held Tuesday through Thursday, 31 Jan-2 Feb 2017, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta.

The Expo will highlight the latest technology, equipment and services used in the production and processing of feed, meat and poultry products. Combining the expertise from AFIA, NAMI and USPOULTRY, IPPE will also feature dynamic education programmes focused on current industry issues.
