January 9, 2025 – Today, the Animal Agriculture Alliance opened registration for its 2025 Stakeholders Summit, themed “Food for Thought: Dishing on Sustainability.” The 2025 event is set for April 30-May 2 in Arlington, Va. and will be moderated by National Pork Board’s Angie Krieger. Early bird registration rates are available through Feb. 28, offering savings up to $100. Register here.
“The annual Stakeholders Summit is well-known for its diverse audience, making up every segment of the food supply chain,” said Hannah Thompson-Weeman, Alliance president and CEO. “Reaching animal agriculture’s collective goals takes teamwork from all stakeholders, which is why there’s no better place to be than at the 2025 Summit. This year’s theme is focused on enhancing this collaboration by providing a venue to discuss fresh ideas and new innovations to further advance animal agriculture.”
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.
Angie Krieger, joining the 2025 Summit lineup for the first time as the event moderator, is the director of operations for National Pork Board (NPB). In her role, she oversees NPB-owned intellectual property, legal, and compliance matters, including contract negotiation and management of the USDA-AMS approval process. Previously, Krieger has served as vice president of operations at Sustainable Environmental Consultants (now Eocene) where she led client-facing teams and served as the functional liaison for human resources, finance, and marketing and communications. She has spent most of her career in the pork community, including serving as director of animal welfare at JBS Live Pork and various roles at Cargill Meat Solutions. Her experiences at Cargill, and then JBS, touched every aspect of the pork supply chain, from farm to fork.
“Angie’s diverse background, from enhancing animal welfare to marketing animal protein to developing legal strategy, make her the perfect fit to moderate the wide-ranging discussions that will take place at the 2025 Summit,” said Thompson-Weeman. “Our attendees are sure to benefit from her expertise and energy as she leads us through a packed agenda full of content.”
