The Alltech ONE Conference is heading back to its old Kentucky home next year, welcoming global thought leaders and innovators to the Central Bank Center in Lexington, May 18–20, 2026, for an immersive exploration of the bold ideas shaping the future of agri-food.
“Over the last 40 years, Alltech has created a truly unique event, the only one of its kind, which many hail as the premier international agri-food event,” said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech, a global leader in animal health and nutrition. “ONE 2026 will again congregate thought and action leaders, scientists, food producers, entrepreneurs and storytellers in a spirit of open collaboration to explore what’s next for our industry — and our planet.”
In 1985, Alltech held its first iteration of the conference in Lexington, welcoming guests from around the world to engage with experts on trending topics in the agriculture industry. Since then, ONE has become a catalyst for inspiration, innovation and collaboration across the agriculture industry and beyond. The conference was held in Lexington until 2023, when Alltech took the ideas and inspiration of ONE on the road to six countries and four continents as the Alltech ONE World Tour.
“After years of connecting virtually and exploring the world together through regional experiences, we’re bringing the Alltech ONE Conference home to Lexington,” said Lyons. “This event has brought tens of thousands of business leaders to the Bluegrass from almost 100 different countries over the years. The connections and conversations they have had here have led to new innovations, business ventures and the creation of a community that spans the globe. So many are making their plans to join us in 2026, and the buzz is already building.”
With the theme “Together, bright becomes brilliant,” ONE 2026 will spotlight the power of connection, collaboration and bold thinking to address agriculture’s most significant challenges and unlock its greatest opportunities. Find out more at one.alltech.com.
