This year, as in past years, we are holding the International Livestock Congress during the Calgary Stampede timeframe; Wednesday July 10, 2013. This will provide you with the opportunity to take advantage of the world renowned event at the same time. The Congress has been successful in attracting key leaders from around the world and is recognized as the leading edge event for the beef industry in Canada. There are key principles that the Congress is built on: new knowledge, education, and leadership; all geared to building the knowledge of our Canadian beef producer.
Each year over the past 9 years, over 300 participants attend the yearly congress. Our goal is to continue to have those people who can influence change in the industry attend the conference. We estimate that the top leaders and influencers (approximately the top 1-2% of each of the industry categories) will attend this conference again this year from each of the following categories: producers/ranchers, processors, food retail, industry stakeholders, and government.
