2026 IPPE Attendee Registration and Housing Open Oct. 6

Attendee registration and general housing for the 2026 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) will open Monday, Oct. 6. IPPE remains the world’s largest annual showcase of technology, equipment, supplies and services for the production and processing of eggs, meat, poultry and animal food manufacturing.

The upcoming 2026 IPPE is already set to break records, with the largest trade show floor in its history at more than 651,000 square feet of exhibit space and 1,250+ confirmed exhibitors. Attendees are encouraged to register online early to take advantage of the discounted rate of $85 (USD) through Jan. 9, 2026. Beginning Jan. 10, the registration fee will be $135.

“We’re excited to showcase a record-setting range of solutions that draw industry leaders from across the globe. IPPE is where innovators gather to strengthen their businesses, share best practices and remain competitive in today’s rapidly evolving marketplace. We look forward to welcoming both our domestic and international attendees to Atlanta for the 2026 IPPE,” remarked IPPE show management.

The 2026 IPPE will provide unmatched opportunities to discover new suppliers, bolster relationships and connect with colleagues worldwide, all in one place. Sponsored by the American Feed Industry Association, the Meat Institute and the U.S. Poultry & Egg Association, the trade show floor will showcase the latest solutions, technologies, research, processes, services and products shaping the global animal food and protein industries. In addition, attendees will have access to more than 80 hours of world-class education programs, on-floor activities and exclusive networking opportunities throughout the week.

The “Members to Atlanta” (M2A) program further supports attendance by allowing qualified professionals from member companies of all three associations -- engaged in poultry, egg and meat production, feed manufacturing and pet food manufacturing -- to attend complimentary. This program is made possible through the generous sponsorship of elite IPPE exhibitors, including Kemin Industries, Aviagen Inc., Heat and Control, Ceva Animal Health, Cobb-Vantress, Elanco Animal Health and Zoetis.

“We are grateful to these exhibitors for their support of the M2A program, which helps attract a truly global audience of meat, poultry, egg and animal food professionals and continues to drive the growth of IPPE,” said IPPE show management.

IPPE will take place at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Ga. For more information and to register for the 2026 IPPE, visit ippexpo.org.
