Abu Dhabi – November 22, 2021

A MOMENTOUS OPENING FOR THE FEED TO FOOD BUSINESS

The event dedicated to animal protein professionals will welcome the Interim Director General Agro of the Dutch Government for an exhibition visit during the morning of the very first day. He is accompanied by several UAE eminencies. Additionally, the pre-registrations both for the exhibition and the content-driven conference sessions are remarkable. Many of the seminars have already been marked ‘full’ with no seats left. “We approach the exhibition with great confidence and are sure that good business will result from this LIVE event,” asserts Mrs Renate Wiendels, Senior Project Manager, VIV worldwide.

Visitors can still register during the show time for their preferred conferences based on the availability. Sustainable and profitable livestock farming, Advancement in Poultry Science, Topical issues of highly dangerous animal disease diagnosis and prevention – are some of the many topics that are going to take the center stage during the conference sessions.  Most of these sessions will take place on the first floor, right above the exhibition floor.
