Stakeholders Summit

May 5 – 7, 2026 | Kansas City, Mo.
The Summit is a one-of-a-kind conference attended by a diverse group of decision makers, including representatives from farms, ranches, allied industries, food processors, restaurants, grocery stores, legislatures, universities, government agencies and media.

Inspiration comes in countless forms. It’s a thought. It’s a conversation. It’s a connection. It’s a chain reaction. We never know how inspiration will hit, but we do know when ideas and perspectives are shared across the table, they don’t just add, they multiply.

At the Animal Agriculture Alliance’s 2025 Stakeholders Summit, held April 30 – May 2 in Arlington, Va., hundreds of food chain partners dished on the biggest topic in the industry – sustainability. With a dash of innovation and a heaping serving of collaboration, we can work together to shape the future of how we raise and distribute animal protein for generations to come. At the 2025 Summit, it was as simple as taking a seat at the table.
