The Alltech 25th International Animal Health and Nutrition Symposium is about to kick off in Lexington, KY and I’ll be there once again with coverage starting late tomorrow night. I’d like to thank the great folks at Alltech for bringing me. On Tuesday I’ll be conducting a lunch time social media training session for media attending the event. Here’s a little bit of advance information about the Symposuim:

Due to the current economic crisis gripping the globe, the theme for the 2009 Symposium is ‘The Sustainability Principle.’ Because Alltech has Bioscience Centres in the US, Ireland and Thailand; offices and distributors in 113 countries; and strategically located production facilities (14 to date) around the globe, it’s quite possible that over 1,000 agribusiness professionals may attend this year’s Symposium. Those who do will be able to witness presentations by respected speakers and personally network with peers to exchange ideas and strategies that will increase profitability during these challenging economic times.

Alltech has built a new Symposium Blog on which the company will also be posting multimedia content during the event. I’ll be working right along side their blogger.
