Preliminary agenda of sessions and speakers available

Registration is now open for the Animal Agriculture Alliance’s 2021 Virtual Stakeholders Summit, themed Obstacles to Opportunities. Celebrating the 20th anniversary of the event, the Alliance’s Stakeholder Summit brings together thought leaders in the industry to discuss hot-button issues and out-of-the-box ideas to connect everyone along the food chain, engage influencers and protect the future of animal agriculture.

The 2021 event is set primarily for May 5-6, with preconference webinars scheduled for the five business days leading up to the Virtual Summit. To make this year’s Virtual Summit even more affordable and accessible, registration rates have been lowered. Early registration discounts are available through February 28.

“The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented and uncertain times for everyone – and its impact extends far beyond 2020,” said Kay Johnson Smith, Alliance president and CEO. “The agriculture and food communities truly showed their resiliency and adaptability in the face of challenging times this past year, and now is the time to use what we’ve learned to turn our obstacles to opportunities for the decades to come. Our Virtual Summit will equip attendees with the tools and ideas needed to do just that so that we can ensure the food chain is stronger than ever.”

A preliminary agenda featuring many of the exciting and high-caliber speakers you can expect to see at the 2021 event has been posted on the Summit website. Sessions will highlight ways to position animal agriculture as a path forward to climate neutrality, how to elevate the voices of farmers in dialogues surrounding food and agriculture and strategies for virtual stakeholder and influencer engagement.
