We look forward to welcoming both our domestic and international attendees to Atlanta for the 2026 IPPE.”

Networking and Educational Opportunities

The 2026 IPPE promises unmatched opportunities for professionals to discover new suppliers, strengthen existing relationships, and connect with colleagues from around the world, all in one inclusive venue. Sponsored by key industry associations, including the American Feed Industry Association, the Meat Institute, and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, the expo will present the latest advancements and solutions impacting the global animal food and protein sectors.

In addition, attendees will have access to over 80 hours of world-class educational programming, along with on-floor activities and unique networking environments throughout the week.

Members to Atlanta (M2A) Program
