Is there a correlation between the growth of attendee numbers at the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) and the quality and increase in educational session opportunities during IPPE? Along with networking opportunities and learning about new technology, polling high as the reason for attending IPPE is attendees viewing quality educational programs as an opportunity to learn about solutions, best practices and industry information they can take back to work and put into practice. IPPE combines more than 140 hours of those opportunities to complement the experience of visiting equipment, product and service suppliers on the trade show floor. Opportunities abound for top management, engineers, food safety, human resources, line supervisors and even poultry and livestock farm owners. More attendees are taking advantage of these opportunities. The following is just a sampling of what attendees will find.
Environmental issues are top of mind for meat and poultry processors, with increased information and innovation paving the way for improvements. This session will address regulatory requirements and consumer interests that continue to affect decision-making.
