Registration now open for 2018 Stakeholders Summit
Animal Agriculture Alliance Summit, “Protect Your Roots,” set for May 3-4
December 13, 2017 – Registration is now open for the Animal Agriculture Alliance’s 2018 Stakeholders Summit, themed Protect Your Roots. The event, now in its 17th year, will be held May 3-4 at the Renaissance Capital View Hotel in Arlington, Va. Discounted early registration fees and a special hotel rate are available through April 1 (pending availability).
“After record-breaking Summit attendance in Kansas City this year, we are excited to announce that registration is now open for the 2018 event,” said Kay Johnson Smith, Alliance president and CEO. “Our hotel block has filled early for the past several years, so I encourage you to make arrangements today to secure your spot at the table to be part of the critical conversations we’ll have at the 2018 Summit.”
The Summit is a one-of-a-kind conference attended by a diverse group of decision makers, including representatives from farms, ranches, food processors, restaurants, grocery stores, legislatures, universities and government agencies.
The 2018 Summit will inspire attendees representing all facets of animal agriculture to be proud of their past and current roles in the industry and challenge them to be forward-thinking about how we can continue to grow into the future. Even if communication is not part of their job description, Summit attendees will leave with new perspectives on key issues and ready to engage with influencers to secure the future of animal agriculture.
If you have an idea for a presentation or panel discussion that fits the 2018 Summit theme and will provide unique and thought-provoking ideas for attendees, you are encouraged to submit your application by Friday, December 15.
