World Pork Expo, the world’s largest pork trade show is celebrating its 25th anniversary, June 5- 7 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Iowa.
“World Pork Expo always showcases the latest innovations and information, making it the place to be for pork-industry enthusiasts each June,” says Doug Fricke, director of trade show marketing, National Pork Producers Council.
In 2012, nearly 20,000 pork producers and industry professionals from 38 countries attended Expo, and organizers expect a similar showing this year. Last year’s event set records for the number of pigs in the Junior National show and the quantity of meals served at the Big Grill, and featured a one-time event showcasing the world’s largest pork burger.
Attendees will find the latest pork-production technologies, products and services on display by more than 400 U.S. and international commercial exhibitors. The trade show is open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Wednesday, June 5, and Thursday, June 6, and from 8 a.m. to 1 p.m on Friday, June 7. This year’s Expo will debut an additional trade-show location — the Agriculture Building, which is located next to the main entry gate and the Big Grill.
High on the list of must-see events are the free business seminars, which take place throughout the day on both Wednesday and Thursday. Seminar topics are designed to provide solutions for on-farm production needs, including marketing options, pig herd-health protocols, feeding strategies and current issues
Online registration will open mid-March at www.worldpork.org.
