The North American Meat Institute (NAMI) announced general session speakers for its upcoming Meat Industry Summit, April 4-6, 2017, at the Rancho Bernardo Inn in San Diego, California. The inaugural Summit will replace and combine programming from the Institute’s Meat Industry Management and Outlook conferences. The annual conference will feature education sessions covering an array of topics, including food safety, government regulations, economics, communications and workforce issues.
John Schaus, fellow in the International Security Program at The Center for Strategic and International Studies, will open the Summit with a multi-media presentation that details perspectives and insights about emerging trends and issues in seven major areas driving global change: population, resources, technology, information, economics, security and governance. The presentation will help companies prepare for the rapidly shifting global landscape and develop more nuanced strategic plans to guide their future activities.
