The poultry industry continues to strengthen its leadership through scientific research and technological innovation, focusing on improving bird health, optimizing nutrition, reinforcing environmental management, and developing new processing strategies and products.
- In this context, these advancements will take center stage at the International Poultry Scientific Forum (IPSF), which will be held in Atlanta as part of the International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2026, from January 26 to 29.
- Likewise, it is established as a key event for researchers, producers, and professionals in the poultry sector, as it is sponsored by the Southern Poultry Science Society, the Southern Conference on Avian Diseases, and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY).
- During the forum, attendees will be able to learn about the latest research in environmental management, nutrition, poultry physiology and pathology, processing and product development, and poultry health—essential areas for improving the sector’s efficiency and sustainability.
Agenda and Registration for the International Poultry Scientific Forum
Regarding the schedule, the IPSF will last one and a half days, beginning on Monday, January 26 and ending on Tuesday, January 27, 2026. Early registration is available at a cost of US$95 until January 9, 2026, while starting January 10 the fee will be US$155. Students may attend free of charge upon presentation of valid identification.
- In this way, the forum represents a unique opportunity to learn about the most recent scientific advances in the poultry industry, while also fostering collaboration between researchers and producers and strengthening technical knowledge applied to the efficient and sustainable production of poultry protein.
IPPE 2026: A Comprehensive Platform for Protein Innovation
In parallel, the International Production & Processing Expo 2026 will be held from January 27 to 29 and brings together three major trade shows:
- International Feed Expo, focused on innovation and efficiency in animal feed.
- International Poultry Expo, focused on poultry production, bird health, and processing technologies.
- International Meat Expo, oriented toward meat production and processing.
Together, these exhibitions offer a comprehensive view of the protein production and processing chain, thus making IPPE 2026 an essential event for the global food and animal protein industry.
Additionally, this gathering serves as a platform for innovation, education, and networking, connecting experts, scientists, producers, and industry leaders. The event is also supported by USPOULTRY, the American Feed Industry Association, and the Meat Institute, ensuring quality standards, scientific relevance, and international reach. Consequently, participants can access educational programs, specialized conferences, and opportunities to explore cutting-edge technologies.
Opportunities for Knowledge and Collaboration
Within this framework, the IPSF, as part of IPPE 2026, enables attendees to:
- Stay updated on innovative strategies in bird health and management.
- Learn about sustainable and efficient solutions in nutrition and processing.
- Participate in interactive sessions and discussion panels with sector experts.
- Explore emerging technologies that optimize productivity and reduce environmental impact.
With research as the driving force for progress, IPPE 2026 and the IPSF establish Atlanta as a global epicenter of innovation in the poultry and protein industries, promoting sustainable practices, technological solutions, and economic development in the food sector.
