For 2020, IPPE will again be in all three halls and will bring together more than 1,300 exhibitors and 32,000 visitors in Atlanta, Georgia. Mark your calendar to join us Jan. 28-30, 2020.

IPPE focuses on Innovation - bringing together buyers and sellers of the latest technology of products and services to make your business successful; Education - learning from the experts in free- and fee-based world-class programs on topics that cross industry interests; Global Reach - attracting more than 8,000 International visitors from 130 countries; and Networking - meeting new and rekindling old relationships with leaders across the industries.

The recent outbreaks of African Swine Fever (ASF) is of great concern to our industries. Higher levels of biosecurity will be in place during IPPE to prevent the introduction or spread of this virus and potentially other harmful diseases into our industries. We are asking all international travelers from countries positive for ASF to remain free from contact with live pigs and other livestock for a minimum of 5 days before visiting the IPPE in January. In addition, please take advantage of the biosecurity measures that will be utilized around the convention center during the IPPE, including foot cleaning mats and hand sanitation dispensers.
