Early registration is now available for the 2015 edition of the Alliance’s showcase event, themed “The Journey to Extraordinary.”
Author of Marketing to Millennials: Reach the Largest and Most Influential Generation of Consumers Ever, Fromm spearheaded a millennial research partnership with The Boston Consulting Group and Service Management Group.

Fromm was the keynote speaker at the 2014 Summit, which focused on the millennial generation and how it is defining the demand for meat, milk and eggs.
The Summit is a one-of-a-kind conference, ideal for networking across sectors of the food chain as it is attended by a diverse group of decision makers, including representatives from farms, ranches, food processors, restaurants, grocery stores, legislators, universities and government agencies. The 2015 event, set in Kansas City, Mo., will be the first edition of the Summit held outside of the Washington, DC area.
This year’s event will explore animal agriculture’s continuous efforts to embrace new technologies that will help feed a growing population while measuring sustainability, engage consumers in innovative ways to bridge the knowledge gap, and highlight initiatives that demonstrate agriculture’s commitment to transparency.
