The Poultry Federation staff will be making the trip to Atlanta next week for the International Poultry Expo.  We invite you to join us on a social networking tour as we post daily updates including booth, exhibitor, and attendee photos and videos on Facebook and Twitter. 

We have 120 Poultry Federation members exhibiting at this show which is described as the world’s largest trade show for the poultry and egg industry.  Will we be able to hit each booth?  We’re up to the challenge!   To view and download our member-exhibitors, click here.

We’ve downloaded the IPE/IFE12 app on our smartphones so we can have instant access to program schedules, list and location of exhibitors.  It even comes with a map to help locate targeted suppliers. 

So keep in contact with us as we zigzag our way through the throngs of folks from all over the world – an impressive 20,000 attendees were recorded in 2011.  But you’ll only be able to keep up with us on Facebook and Twitter – so sign up now and “Follow Me to IPE.” 

Note to TPF-member exhibitors…  Having a special event in your booth or hosting a dinner or reception? Would you like some coverage on our Facebook page or Twitter account? Please let us know and we’ll do our best to be there!  Email:  paulette@thepoultryfederation.com
