The American Feed Industry Association has opened registration for its annual Equipment Manufacturers Conference, scheduled for Nov. 5-7 in Rancho Mirage, Calif., with this year’s theme addressing workforce protection and management.
“EMC is a unique forum for feed industry professionals to come together to discuss opportunities and challenges,” said Gary Huddleston, AFIA’s director of feed manufacturing and regulatory affairs. “This year’s theme is important and timely given workforce challenges in today’s manufacturing environment.”
The conference will feature sessions on industry safety standards, regulatory updates from Washington, D.C., employee expectations and a panel on business opportunities. The event aims to update equipment manufacturers on current issues while providing networking opportunities.
A golf tournament kicks off the three-day event, raising funds for scholarships supporting students pursuing feed or grain sciences at seven universities.
Early-bird registration runs through Oct. 3, with discounted rates for AFIA members.
