AAFCO Midyear Meeting earns a Bronze rating based on attendee quality, exhibitor ROI, and relevance to the vet industry. A solid regional option for teams focused on the vet market.
The AAFCO Midyear Meeting is a regulatory-focused gathering for animal feed industry officials, state department representatives, and policy professionals working across the pet and livestock feed space. AAFCO, the Association of American Feed Control Officials, sets the standards that govern feed labeling and ingredient definitions across the country, and its midyear meeting is where much of that ongoing work gets done in person. The 2026 edition runs January 20 through 22 in New Orleans, LA, drawing between 500 and 1,000 attendees. Sessions center on compliance updates, ingredient approvals, and regulatory coordination rather than sales or product launches. This is not a trade show floor. It's a working meeting. For suppliers, manufacturers, and formulators who need to stay current on feed regulations or engage directly with the officials who write the rules, this event is worth the trip.
