Speaking proposals sought on emerging issues shaping public perception of animal agriculture.
Somebody is going to tell the story of animal agriculture’s future. The only question is who. At the 2027 Summit, attendees are seizing the pen. This is where the industry’s sharpest minds will come together to get ahead of the pressure, the perception, and the pace of change, and turn all three into progress. No more playing catch-up. It’s time to write the headline everyone be talking about next year.
“Decisions made today will influence how animal agriculture operates and is perceived for years to come,” said Hannah Thompson-Weeman, president and CEO, Animal Agriculture Alliance. “The 2027 Summit is about looking beyond today’s headlines, anticipating what’s next, and bringing the food and agriculture community together to help shape the conversation rather than simply reacting to it.”
The annual Stakeholders Summit brings together decisionmakers from farms and ranches, allied industries, food processors, restaurants, grocery retailers, legislatures, universities, government agencies and media. The 2026 Summit attracted more than 205 registered in-person attendees and addressed issues affecting animal protein, including animal rights extremism, legislative agendas and supply chain coordination.
