U.S. CattleTrace announces its annual Symposium will be held November 18th and 19th at the Hyatt Regency and Convention Center in Wichita, Kansas.

The U.S. CattleTrace Symposium will bring together cattle producers, industry professionals and technology manufacturers to learn and discuss animal disease traceability and value-added opportunities. While at the symposium, participants will learn more about U.S. CattleTrace and its operations, hear from leaders in the technology and animal industries, and have a seat at the table of animal disease traceability discussions related to value.

“After a year of operating through computer screens, we are looking forward to sharing the message of the value disease traceability can bring to the cattle industry with producers and other industry leaders in-person,” U.S. CattleTrace Executive Director Callahan Grund said. “We’re looking to create an experience where participants will not only be able to meet and hear more from individuals and organizations across the food chain, but also provide their input on how to continue developing the value needed for substantial adoption of animal disease traceability.”

Registration for the symposium is open now. To stay up-to-date about news regarding the U.S. CattleTrace Symposium, including speaker announcements and sponsorship opportunities, visit www.uscattletrace.org/2021symposium.
