Registration is now open for the 2021 World Pork Expo. This event, presented by the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC), brings together pork producers and other industry professionals for three days of networking, education and innovation on June 9-11 at the Iowa State Fairgrounds.
Attendees, media and exhibitors can register by visiting the World Pork Expo website. Registration is now available online until June 3. World Pork Expo badges include entry to the show for all three days. Discounted rates are available during pre-registration, including $10 per adult (ages 12 and up) and $1 for children (6 to 11 years old). Registration on-site will be $20 per adult. There is an on-site Friday-only option for $10. For 2021, World Pork Expo has extended its typical badge mailing deadline in an attempt to avoid long lines of waiting at the event.
“World Pork Expo plays an important role in an essential industry dedicated to the production of world’s most popular meat protein,” NPPC President Jen Sorenson, communications director for Iowa Select Farms, said in a release. “NPPC looks forward to hosting World Pork Expo and the invaluable opportunity to gather with those representing every aspect of the pork supply chain.”
