Register Now for AFIA's Virtual Feed Industry Institute

Registration is open for American Feed Industry Association's (AFIA) virtual Feed Industry Institute. This is a great opportunity for new members of the feed industry to get back in the classroom with an online course designed just for them.

The Feed Industry Institute (FII) provides an educational forum to learn the basics on animal nutrition and the process for manufacturing feed/pet food and getting it to market. Hear from those who know the feed and ingredient industry best — industry experts with decades of experience.

Early Bird Registration through July 22 is $300 for AFIA members and $650 for non-members, almost half of what the face to face meeting would have cost, plus additional savings from not having to travel or book hotel rooms. Take advantage of these savings to enroll new employees in this valuable virtual overview of the feed industry to A to Z. Registration closes on September 22.

With participant safety in mind throughout the coronavirus pandemic, AFIA is pivoting to a new virtual format this year. The teaching seminars will be delivered using online web conferencing software, allowing students to interact with the instructors through their web browsers. The seminar will consist of two parts. Part 1 will include multiple pre-recorded presentations that students can watch at their own pace beginning on Aug. 17 (all participants will receive informational emails with log-in instructions and handout materials.) Part 2 will happen on Wednesday, Sept. 23, when AFIA will host a live online webcast from 2:00-4:00 p.m. Eastern to recap all the presentations and provide an opportunity for students to participate in a live Q&A session with the overall professor, Dr. Paul Davis.

AFIA staff will be available throughout the entire process to guide students through the online platform, if needed. At the conclusion, all students will “graduate” by receiving a certificate via email, officially becoming alumni of AFIA’s oldest and well-respected event.
