Pan Pacific Pork Expo (PPPE)

Pan Pacific Pork Expo 2012

Positioning Australian Pork: Different by Choice

16-17 May 2012
Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre

It’s Back - Bigger and Better than ever before! 

The Pan Pacific Pork Expo (PPPE) Chairman and Australian Pork Limited (APL) Director John Coward said, I am pleased to announce the theme for the 2012 conference is, ‘Positioning Australian Pork: Different by Choice’. This theme is aligned to the current industry strategic direction and sets the scene for presenters and exhibitors to provide the information and technologies that stimulate the industry to better address the changes ahead.

“Understanding the impacts of increased volumes of imported pork and the industry initiative of ’Shaping Our Future’, PPPE will provide producers and industry with up-to-date key information that focuses on current issues impacting pig production. Such issues are; changes to sow housing resulting from  changing consumer and customers expectations; better managing the changing environmental platform including Carbon Farming Initiatives’/ implications, plus a host of up-to-date research reports from Pork CRC and the various APL Research and Development activities”.

For exhibitors and sponsors, PPPE 2012 is providing greater exposure than ever before. The Committee listened to the 2010 participant’s survey comments and has now allowed for more floor space for exhibitors, more time for networking and interacting with exhibitors, industry colleagues and world class speakers all on the one level.

An added value for exhibitors is PPPE and the Poultry Information Exchange Conference (PIX) will be held back to back with the trade display build for PIX starts Friday 18 May, 2012.  PPPE and PIX have agreed that exhibitors taking part in both exhibitions need not dismantle their stand if they don’t need to. This link between both exhibitions has been done in an effort to minimise transport, storage and additional cartage costs for involvement in both events. 

APL Members will again have on offer the ‘Attendance Assistance Package'. Members on the eastern seaboard will receive coverage of airfare to and from the conference, plus one nights’ accommodation. For those members from the west it will be the same offer with airfare, but two nights’ accommodation.  All arrangements for the APL Membership Assistance Package will require booking through APL.

This website will be updated on a regular basis and also keep an eye out for information around this important industry event through one of our sponsors, Australian Pork Newspaper.
