IPPE

IPPE, or International Production & Processing Expo, is a major international trade show and conference serving the poultry, meat, and feed industries. The event brings together manufacturers, suppliers, producers, and service providers to showcase processing equipment, automation, packaging, sanitation, animal health, nutrition, and related technologies.

Held annually in Atlanta, Georgia, IPPE is organized by industry associations and is widely regarded as one of the world's largest gatherings for poultry and meat processing professionals. The expo emerged from the consolidation of three previously separate shows—the International Poultry Expo, the International Meat Expo, and the International Feed Expo—creating a single platform for cross-industry buyers and exhibitors.

In addition to a large exhibit floor, IPPE offers a conference program with technical sessions, market analysis, regulatory discussions, and food safety topics. Demonstrations, product launches, and supplier meetings are common features, along with networking events designed to connect producers with equipment manufacturers and service providers.

Participants come from around the world and include farm and plant operators, equipment suppliers, veterinary and medication providers, feed manufacturers, researchers, and policymakers. IPPE serves as a marketplace for equipment, technology, and services that improve efficiency, safety, and sustainability in production and processing. The event’s scale and scope make it a key annual date for stakeholders across the poultry, meat, and feed value chains.
