October 1, 2024 – Today, the Animal Agriculture Alliance announced the theme of its 2025 Stakeholders Summit and issued a call for speaker proposals. The theme of the 2025 event, set for Apr. 30-May 2 in Arlington, Va., is “Food for Thought: Dishing on Sustainability.” Speaking proposals that fit the theme and offer actionable takeaways are being accepted through Nov. 15. Registration will open in January.
Inspiration comes in countless forms. It’s a thought. It’s a conversation. It’s a connection. It’s a chain reaction. We never know how inspiration will hit, but we do know when ideas and perspectives are shared across the table, they don’t just add, they multiply. At the 2025 Summit, hundreds of food chain partners will be dishing on the biggest topic in the industry – sustainability. With a dash of innovation and a heaping serving of collaboration, we can work together to shape the future of how we raise and distribute animal protein for generations to come. At the 2025 Summit, it’s as simple as taking a seat at the table.
Proposals for keynote presentations, panel discussions, and interactive workshops that fit the 2025 theme are currently being accepted. Presentations should provide unique and thought-provoking ideas and focus on actionable tools attendees can immediately use and implement on their farms or in their organizations to secure a sustainable future for animal agriculture. For more information, visit the proposal guidelines and form. For questions about the speaker proposal process, contact Hannah Thompson-Weeman at hthompson@animalagalliance.
“Innovation starts when we dare to think differently, and we think the best inspiration comes from working collaboratively across the supply chain,” said Hannah Thompson-Weeman, president and CEO, Animal Agriculture Alliance. “The 2025 Summit will bring together food chain partners and stakeholders to consider new ideas, build relationships, and make progress on issues important to all of us. Being a part of ensuring a bright future for animal agriculture is as simple as taking a seat at the table next year.”
The Summit is a one-of-a-kind conference attended by a diverse group of decision makers, including representatives from farms, ranches, allied industries, food processors, restaurants, grocery stores, legislatures, universities, government agencies, and media. The 2024 Summit attracted more than 260 in-person attendees and discussed topics of interest including animal welfare versus animal rights, ballot initiative campaigns and legal issues, and bridging the communication gap with external audiences.
