High Steaks: Navigating Pressure on Animal Protein

Registration is now open for the 2026 Stakeholders Summit! This year’s theme, High Steaks: Navigating Pressure on Animal Protein, will bring together hundreds of food chain partners for a rare opportunity to explore hot button issues facing each of us in food and farming.

You’re feeling the heat. We all are. With headlines, regulations, and expectations all bearing down, the stakes for animal agriculture and the food community have never been higher. But this is a rare opportunity. Only at the 2026 Stakeholders Summit will you find the most passionate minds sparking together. It’s the one place where conversation is alight, and ideas sizzle. We know what’s on the line — and we’re fired up to face it. Time to dig in.

The 2026 Summit will take place May 5-7 at the InterContinental Kansas City at the Plaza.
