| April 16, 2025 – In-person attendees at the Animal Agriculture Alliance’s 2025 Stakeholders Summit will have exclusive access to a security panel discussing response gaps in cybersecurity, biosecurity, and animal rights activism. The 2025 Summit, set for April 30-May 2 in Arlington, Va., is themed “Food for Thought: Dishing on Sustainability.” A virtual recording pass is also available. Register or purchase a recording pass here.
Security experts from the Bioeconomy Information Sharing and Analysis Center, Colorado Department of Agriculture, Pennsylvania Department of Agriculture, and Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory will take the stage to share best practices and fresh insights with attendees. Panelists will discuss why 2025 marks a crucial turning point in addressing key security issues and the opportunity to create a unified defense against potential threats. Speakers will also address the importance of empowering local law enforcement agencies that play a vital role in protecting agricultural communities. This session will not be recorded and will only be available to in-person Summit attendees. View the full agenda here. “As the age-old saying goes, ‘an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.’ When it comes to animal rights extremists, it’s better to prepare for potential threats than to only react after they occur,” said Abby Kornegay, Alliance director of issues and engagement. “Our panel of security specialists will share expert advice and recommendations to make farms and facilities harder targets from extremist activity.” A recording pass is now available to purchase for those who are not able to attend the 2025 Summit in person. Session recordings will be posted within two weeks after the event and will only be available to registered attendees and recording pass holders. The 2025 Summit would not be possible without the support of sponsors, including U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, Farm Journal, Meatingplace, Watt Global Media, Cargill, Merck Animal Health, Zoetis, American Feed Industry Association, United Soybean Board, Agri-Pulse, CoBank, Dairy MAX, Farm Credit Council, Mountaire, National Pork Producers Council, Northeast Beef Promotion Initiative, AdFarm, American Farm Bureau Federation, American Veal Association, Aviagen, Cobb, Kemin, National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, National Chicken Council, National Pork Board, North Carolina Farm Bureau, Progressive Dairy, Trans Ova Genetics, Tyson Foods, United Egg Producers, Eggland’s Best, and Vivayic.
