primed for a
cracker event
■ Supply Chain Opportunities – Farmers to Consumers
PIX PROGRAM
THE biennial Poultry Information Exchange and Australasian Milling Conference is the big- gest and most important poultry and milling con- ference in the Australa- sian region.
PIX/AMC 2018 will be held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibi- tion Centre from Sunday, June 3 to Tuesday, June 5, 2018.
‘Supply Chain Opportu- nities – Farmers to Con- sumers’ is the theme of this year’s conference.
The PIX/AMC 2018 program will feature three days filled with the latest in innovation and infor- mation, with knowledge- able industry personnel from both Australia and overseas attending.
The program is streamed into chicken meat, egg production, free range and organic farming, flour milling and feed milling
for all livestock species, including beef, dairy, pigs and others.
There will be topics of interest for each and every delegate.
Workshops on numerous special-interest areas en- compassing all aspects of the poultry industry will also be on offer.
For the more technically minded, the Australasian Veterinary Poultry Asso- ciation will again be hold- ing a scientific meeting directly after the confer- ence.
A highlight of the con- ference will be the trade display area, which is the industry’s largest and most extensive.
Made up of over 200 booths, exhibitors will be on hand to demonstrate their latest products and equipment.
