On Thursday, members can pose questions to USMEF’s international directors as they discuss the latest market developments and programs, and Friday's closing session will include a trade issues panel update and discussion.

The USMEF Strategic Planning Conference is a unique opportunity to meet your peers in the international meat trade, get to know USMEF staff from Denver and our international offices, and to learn a great deal about market conditions around the world.
