What an inspiring day at the EPIC Conference 2025! “Poultry 2050: Strategies for Success” — brought together industry leaders, innovators, and change-makers from across the poultry sector.
A heartfelt thank you to the outstanding speakers who shared their expertise, insights, and passion for shaping the future of our industry. Together, we’re driving the industry forward — turning inspiration into action.
I thought the line-up was outstanding, as was the organisation. I will definitely be diarising to join again if I may, so please do include me in the marketing material.
