Registration is open for the 2023 U.S. CattleTrace Symposium, which will be held November 14 and 15 at the American Royal Center, Kansas City, Mo. With an emphasis on collaboration, education and execution, the symposium allows attendees the opportunity to learn more about current animal disease traceability response tools within the U.S. and help provide input on how a voluntary contact tracing tool can enhance potential responses in the future.

There is no cost to attend the symposium, but it is important that attendees register in order to provide adequate meeting materials and to have accurate meal counts. Attendees can register online and reserve a room at www.uscattletrace.org/2023symposium.

team at (785) 821-1082 or email info@UScattletrace.org.

About CattleTrace Inc.
In August 2018, CattleTrace Inc. was formally established as a private, not-for-profit corporation

project. A board of directors with representatives from cow-calf, livestock market and cattle
feeding sectors was named to lead CattleTrace Inc. In January 2020, the board voted to change
the name to U.S. CattleTrace Inc. to formally establish the multi-state initiative to advance
disease traceability
