ARLINGTON, VA. — The American Feed Industry Association’s (AFIA) annual Equipment Manufacturers Conference (EMC) will be Nov. 6 to 8 in Bonita Springs, Fla., with the theme “Feed Industry 4.0 – Leveraging New Technologies.”

The three-day event kicks off with an annual golf tournament, which raises money for the Institute for Feed Education and Research’s (IFEEDER) EMC scholarship fund, a program designed to encourage college students to consider careers in the feed or grain sciences. 

“We are extremely excited about this year’s Equipment Manufacturers Conference and look forward to welcoming both new attendees as well as past attendees,” said Gary Huddleston, director of feed manufacturing and regulatory affairs at the AFIA. “With this year’s theme centered on ‘Feed Industry 4.0,’ we look forward to showcasing how new technologies can drive efficiency, growth and innovation in the animal food industry.”

Early-bird registration runs through Oct. 4, with a discounted rate of $720 for AFIA members and $1,450 for nonmembers. To register or learn more about EMC, visit afia.org/EMC2024.
