Sponsorship and Exhibitor Opportunities

**The exhibit hall for the Midwest Meat Summit is full. Please email Emma Liddle at emma.liddle(at)practicalfarmers(dot)org for sponsor opportunities.

The inaugural Midwest Meat Summit will be held Jan. 9-10, 2025, at the Iowa Events Center in Des Moines, Iowa.

The Iowa Events Center is conveniently located just off the intersection of I-35 and I-80 in Des Moines.

The summit will bring together every part of the meat supply chain to learn, network and build community. Farmers, butchers and industry experts will convene for nearly two days of technical and business assistance, valuable speaker sessions and ample time to mingle and connect.

This summit is part of a national series of events dedicated to supporting meat value chains, from the pasture to the plate. Join us for food and fellowship!
