After years as an autumn tradition, the AMI International Meat, Poultry & Seafood Industry Convention and Exposition has moved to April. Now scheduled for April 13-16 at Chicago’s McCormick Place, the AMI Expo will help attendees get an advantage over their competition, says J. Patrick Boyle, AMI president and CEO.
“They will be among the first to see the latest equipment and technology innovations,” he says. “It’s been 18 months since our industry met under one roof.”
More than 400 exhibitors will be on hand at the AMI Expo, displaying the latest technology and machinery for the industry. One of the benefits of attending the show, Boyle notes, is that visitors can do side-by-side comparisons of products to ensure that they get the best value for their business. The Expo will also feature a “Meat Tech” presentation prepared by exhibitors on operational issues critical to all aspects of meat, poultry and seafood processing. These presentations, held in a classroom on the show floor, will cover topics such as food safety interventions and ingredients, packaging technologies and application of sanitary design principles for processing equipment and facilities.
The AMI has also prepared a slate of networking opportunities, so that attendees can make connections with others in the industry. The scheduled events include a networking reception co-sponsored by the Chicago Midwest Meat Association, the AMI Awards Breakfast and the AMI Washington Insider Breakfast, featuring keynote speaker William Kristol, editor of The Weekly Standard.
Along with the new products and services available on the show floor, the AMI Expo also boasts a full slate of educational opportunities, from intriguing general sessions to tracks on sustainability, food safety, product development and plant operations.
“We work closely with processors to develop world-class education that we know that they need for their teams — because they developed it,” Boyle says.
Among the speakers at this year’s show are Michael Hayden, former director of the Central Intelligence Agency and the National Security Agency, and Carlos Gutierrez, former CEO/chairman at Kellogg Co. and former U.S. Commerce Department secretary. Other experts speaking during the education seminars represent companies such as Johnsonville Sausage, Kraft Foods, Mintel and Duke University.
Boyle says that with the new spring dates, the future of the show is very bright.
“The spring date also makes co-locating with other organizations easier, dramatically improving our ability to expand our audience,” he notes. The 2012 show, for instance, will be co-located with the Food Marketing Institute and the United Fresh Produce Association.
