The 2022 Annual Meat Conference, put on by the North American Meat Institute and FMI – The Food Industry Association, has been canceled due to the COVID surge.
The show had been scheduled for Feb. 7-9 in Washington, D.C. The organizations announced Jan. 12 that the show was canceled.
“A full refund will be issued to all attendees, exhibitors and sponsors, and event coordinators will cancel hotel reservations on behalf of registered attendees,” according to a statement from the organizations.
Instead, the sponsoring organizations will hold a “virtual discussion series” in three parts beginning Feb. 7. Registration information can be found on the conference website.
Several trade shows were canceled due to COVID last year, including the Private Label Trade Show, the Fancy Food Show and Natural Products Expo.
