Our virtual Annual Meeting is taking place August 2–4, 2021, offering convenient half-day sessions and a digital format that allows for broader participation from state and federal animal feed and pet food officials, as well as the regulated community.
Our 2021 AAFCO virtual Annual Meeting features the following:
- Keynote speaker, Tim Schell, from the FDA with an update on FDA CVM activities
- Discussions from a range of committees, including the Ingredient Definitions, Pet Food, and Laboratory Services Committees
- Opportunity for full access registrants to ask questions or offer comments during committee meetings. Instructions for joining a queue to provide a verbal comment during a committee meeting will be provided in the platform after you log in with your username and password.
Full access registration
Choose this option if you want the following:
- Live webcast of each committee meeting and programming
- On-demand video library of committee and speaker sessions
- One-year unlimited access to exclusive content
The virtual service provider for this meeting is the same provider AAFCO worked with in January for the 2021 AAFCO Midyear Meeting and in August 2020 for the 2020 AAFCO Annual Meeting. The platform has been updated to include new options for us to use to maximize our virtual experience.
New! Exclusive content for full access registrants! More value for you!
Exclusive content will be available for 12 months. Here’s what we’re offering:
- Hemp in cattle food research report – Michael Kleinhenz, assistant professor/beef production medicine, Kansas State University
- Functional foods discussion
We’re offering these sessions as exclusive content due to the time constraints of the virtual format and the multiple time zones.
Watch for this email message!
July 26: full access registrants receive their username and password along with a video offering instruction on how to access and use the portal. Because of the updates to the platform, we recommend you watch this video to be sure you maximize your experience.
