The International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) is launching the eighth annual Young Leaders “30 under 30” program targeting young professionals who normally would not have the opportunity to attend IPPE Expo Fair.
A program for young professionals involved in production and processing of poultry, meat and animal food
The goal of the program is to engage and invest in the next generation of young professionals, between the ages of 21 and 29, who work for companies directly involved in the production and processing of poultry and meat or in the production of animal food.
Interested applicants must apply to the program by September 30 and meet select requirements, including being a member of at least one of the following IPPE sponsor organizations: the American Feed Industry Association (AFIA), North American Meat Institute (NAMI) or U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY).
No more than two applicants from a single member organization may be nominated. A panel of industry professionals will review the applications, and award recipients will be notified of the panel’s decision by October 15.
The application and details about the program can be found by clicking here or at www.ippexpo.org.
Professional qualities in production and processing of meat and poultry
The program is designed to recognize professional leadership qualities and provide exposure to the world’s largest annual trade show involving the production and processing of meat and poultry products and the manufacture of animal food and pet food products.
The program provides education to further training in each person’s respective industry and will expose the recipients to the latest technology used in the industry.
Hotel, all education programs, free access to the Expo, paid program
In addition to receiving free access to the Expo, selected recipients will receive IPPE-assigned complimentary hotel accommodations for two nights and admittance to all complimentary education programs and one paid program.
They will also be recognized at a special breakfast held on their behalf and gain leadership insights from a keynote speaker.
Attendee registration and general housing for the 2020 IPPE Expo fair will open September 16.
