The 2013 International Poultry Expo (IPE) is celebrating its 65th anniversary in a big way in Atlanta, January 29-31, 2013. Since 2007, the IPE has been working hand-in-hand with the American Feed Industry Association’s International Feed Expo, and growth has been dramatic. Trade Show Executive magazine ranked the 2011 Expo (the latest for which they have surveyed) as the 50th largest trade show in America.
The American Meat Institute’s International Meat Expo will be integrated into the mix in 2013, forming the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE). The synergy between the organizations has exceeded all expectations, as the IPPE will encompass more than 420,000 square feet of exhibit space with more than 1,075 exhibitors. This year’s show will feature more that 200 international exhibitors and 300-plus new suppliers. More than 25,000 attendees are anticipated, representing more than 100 countries.
