Pork at PIX AMC
THE SunPork Group has joined the Poultry Information Exchange and Australasian Milling Conference – also known as PIX AMC – that will be held in May 2022 at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibi- tion Centre.
ence will provide partici- pants with an opportunity to renew old acquaint- ances and make new con- nections – let’s face it, we all need this!
It’s been too long since we got together as an in- dustry, and we are hoping that the PIX AMC Con- ference will be just the event to re-engage the various segments of the pork production supply chain, and will look to deliver a world-class event for all members of the pork industry.
As I mentioned previ- ously, this conference is open to all pig industry participants and we look forward to seeing you at the Gold Coast event in May 2022.
As a direct result of Sun- Pork and AMC working together, suppliers and stakeholders will, for the first time, have the op- portunity to engage and support the pig, poultry and milling industries at the one event in Australia.
If you would like more information in the in- terim, feel free to give me a call on 0421 622 900. Darryl D’Souza Executive GM SunPorkSolutions
