2026 IPPE Offers Services and Programs for International Attendees

The 2026 International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE), sponsored by the American Feed Industry Association, Meat Institute and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association (USPOULTRY), is offering a wide range of services to international attendees.

With 29% of its attendees coming from outside the United States, IPPE is proud to partner with the U.S. Department of Commerce through its International Buyer Program. The program brings thousands of qualified international buyers, sales representatives and business partners to U.S. trade shows each year. Representatives from the Commerce Department’s Commercial Service will be onsite at IPPE to help attendees advance their international trade initiatives.

“IPPE fuels meaningful collaboration and global trade. Together with our partners around the world, we are building a stronger, more connected food system capable of feeding a growing population,” said IPPE show organizers.

The 2026 IPPE will provide a range of global business resources, including buyer matching, conference rooms, translation services, import-export counseling and access to export directories, all available in the International Trade Center located in the A/B Connector. In addition, USPOULTRY is offering the La Cumbre Avícola Latinoamericana (Latin American Poultry Summit) education program that will focus on the importance of poultry protein and the future and direction of the industry. The program will be conducted in Spanish, with translation services provided in English and Portuguese.

The 2026 IPPE will feature the largest trade show floor in show history with more than 665,000 square feet of exhibit space and 1,380+ exhibitors. IPPE is a collaboration of three trade shows – International Feed Expo, International Poultry Expo and International Meat Expo – representing the entire chain of protein production and processing. More information about IPPE, including registration details and lodging, is available at ippexpo.org.
