The International Production & Processing Expo is the world's largest annual poultry and egg, meat and animal food industry event of its kind. A wide range of domestic and international decision-makers attend this annual event to find solutions for their business, network with industry colleagues and learn about the latest technological developments and issues facing the industry.
This annual event, planned and hosted by AFIA’s Equipment Manufacturers Committee, focuses on updating the equipment sector of the feed industry on current issues and trends, providing an environment for learning from educational speakers and industry leaders, and brings the industry together to network. Conference attendees include equipment manufacturers, equipment installers, contractors and users of the equipment from the feed manufacturing sector.
It hosts an annual golf tournament to raise scholarship funds, which are distributed through the Institute for Feed Education and Research (IFEEDER). All proceeds after expenses from the conference support the Equipment Manufacturers Scholarship Fund.
Planned and hosted by AFIA's Liquid Feed Committee, this is the only event nationwide that focuses on the liquid feed industry, from current issues to growth to education and development.

Typically, the symposium also inducts someone into the Liquid Feed Hall of Fame and administers the Kenny Berg Research and Education fund, which is housed within IFEEDER. Members can also see the liquid feed handbook and past LFS proceedings on the member website.
