EPIC Conference 2026
The 59th EPIC Event was another roaring success, with its particularly relevant theme of “Feeding the Nation – Our Role Today, Our Reputation Tomorrow”
The 2026 event was once again held at the famous Celtic Manor, the home of EPIC, on 1st and 2nd November 2026. Planning is now underway for our landmark 60th Anniversary event in November 2027, and we’re aiming to make it our biggest and best yet.

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.
