15/05/14: CropTech-FeedTech - Bringing the debate to VIV Europe: May 21st, 2014



Visitors attending VIV Europe in Utrecht, The Netherlands next week will have the opportunity to participate in the 4th CropTech-FeedTech Conference Debate on May 21st, 2014 from 11:00-12:30.

This two-hour meeting will be quite different from normal conferences associated with the exhibition. It will take place in the form of a 'debate' to ensure greatest value for attendees in the time allocated. Each participating speaker will have just seven minutes to introduce themselves and their company before engaging in a 'debate' about the topic at hand - 'Digital engineering in the feed industry'. 

Participating speakers will discuss amongst themselves how they see digital engineering impacting feed production within a 45 minute time frame - before delegates attending the meeting will be invited to join in by commenting or asking questions of the speakers on the panel. 

The Debate: An hour-and-a-half long discussion and debate on technology in the feed supply chain - from manufacturing equipment to the production of feed ingredients. Exploring how different technologies change the thinking and operations within the supply chain and how that impacts the final feed products and profitability. All visitors to VIV Europe are entitled to attend free-of-charge.
