The Animal Agriculture Alliance is opening registration for its 2024 Stakeholders Summit, themed “Ready, Set, Solve! Advancing Animal Agriculture.” The 2024 summit is set for May 8–9 in Kansas City, Mo. Attendees should register by March 8 for the lowest rates, offering savings up to $100.
“The annual Stakeholders Summit is unique in its ability to bring together each link of the food supply chain to discuss emerging issues facing everyone from farmers and ranchers to retailers and food brands,” said Hannah Thompson-Weeman, president and CEO of the Animal Agriculture Alliance. “No matter where you sit in the supply chain, we’re all seeking ways to advance animal agriculture and getting our goals across the finish line. There’s no better place to discuss these challenges and opportunities than at the 2024 Summit where you’re surrounded by peers and stakeholders.”
Amanda Lucey, CEO of The Partnership, a marketing and brand communications agency, will serve as moderator throughout the event. In her 20-year career, Lucey has personal experience in strategic public relations, marketing, branding and corporate communications for clients, companies and government institutions at a national and international level. She previously served as the director of communications and public relations for Dairy Alliance. She has held executive roles with U.S. and UK governments as vice consul, head of political, press and public affairs for the British Consulate General and as a media correspondent and director of communications for the U.S. government.
