Registration is now open for the American Feed Industry Association's Equipment Manufacturers Conference (EMC), being held Nov. 6-8 in Marco Island, Fla.

Themed, "What's Next: Operating Today for the Future," this annual conference focuses on updating the equipment sector of the feed industry on current issues and trends, providing an environment for learning from educational speakers and industry leaders, and bringing the industry together to network.

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

Educational programs at the conference will also include an update on policy issues being discussed in Washington, D.C., a panel discussion on fixed ladder requirements, best legal practices for human resources, a keynote address on how to break boundaries for operating excellence and more.

Registration

Early-bird registration runs through Oct. 4, with a discounted rate of $720 for AFIA members and $1,415 for non-members. Register and view more information on the event’s website.
