Save the date for the 2027 Stakeholders Summit

Somebody is going to tell the story of animal agriculture’s future. The only question is who. At the 2027 Stakeholders Summit, we’re seizing the pen. We’re looking beyond what’s making headlines today and focusing on what comes next. 

Join the Animal Agriculture Alliance May 5-7 in Arlington, Va. for the 2027 event, themed “Ahead of the Headlines: Shaping What’s Next for Animal Agriculture.” 

No more playing catch-up. It’s time to help write the headlines everyone will be talking about next year. Registration opens in January. Stay tuned for speaker announcements, session details, and more in the months ahead. 

Submit a Speaking Proposal

The Alliance is looking for speakers who can help Summit attendees see what’s coming next and leave them ready to act on it. Preference will be given to proposals that offer forward-looking ideas, unique perspectives, and practical strategies that can be implemented immediately. 

Complete and submit the speaking proposal form by November 20, 2026. For questions about the speaker proposal process, contact Abby Kornegay.
