Alltech’s 2011 International Symposium is intended to be an industry time-out, providing opportunities for professionals to huddle in specialised breakout sessions – including aquaculture, beef, dairy, equine, poultry, pig production, pet food, regulatory, food quality, traceability, and communicating directly with the consumer using new media strategies. All sessions will be dedicated to the open discussion of creative game-changing strategies for revolutionising industry practices and redefining its future.

 

Alltech’s Innovations blog will be updated throughout the Symposium to include photos from the event, video interviews with speakers, podcasts, and some of the most salient points from the specialised breakout sessions.
