Dallas will be home for the World Meat Congress 2018 edition
The 2018 edition's theme is “Trusting in Trade.”
According to Emeritus Philip Seng, USMEF CEO, the event is an opportunity to highlight the essential role international trade plays in the growth and viability of the global red meat industry.
“The IMS is composed of representatives of about 30 countries, sharing information about how the industry can work together to be more trade-progressive,” Mr. Seng said. “At the World Meat Congress, we expect to discuss and debate critical, timely issues related to globalization and economics, as well as the evolving priorities of our customers and how the red meat industry can better meet the needs of the consumer of tomorrow.”
Mr. Seng also explained that there are many areas in which the World Meat Congress participants share common interests, although they all compete intensely for global market share.
“This is an opportunity to draw from the world’s foremost experts on topics such as health and nutrition, production technologies, animal care and sustainability – issues that demand our full attention if the red meat industry is going to continue to expand and thrive,” Mr. Seng said.
IMS President Guillaume Roué said the 2018 World Meat Congress will appeal to a broad range of participants whose professional interests are impacted by trade policy, as open meat trade is crucial to improving livelihoods and food security, and for meeting sustainable development goals.
“From industry to government to meat science and academia, the World Meat Congress is a one-of-a-kind event and the benefits of attending are substantial,” said Roué, who is also president of INAPORC, France’s interprofessional pork industry organization. “We are excited to co-host this year’s conference with USMEF and anxious to bring the event to the United States at a time when the world is especially interested in the U.S. approach to agricultural trade.”
According to USMEF, registration, lodging and other details are available from the World Meat Congress website.
