The third Annual Red Meat Sector Conference is at The Langham Auckland on Monday, July 8.

It is jointly hosted by the Meat Industry Association of New Zealand Inc - a voluntary trade association representing New Zealand meat processors, marketers and exporters – and Beef + Lamb New Zealand Ltd - the farmer-owned industry organisation representing New Zealand's sheep and beef farmers.

The Red Meat Sector Conference 2013 will provide delegates from across the red meat sector with a programme of high quality speakers and ample opportunity to network. The goal of the conference is to promote and foster the red meat sector by providing a framework for engagement between farmers, industry and service providers as well as showcasing expertise and best practice.
The MIA and B+LNZ developed the Red Meat Sector Strategy in May 2011. The Strategy reflects the broad recognition of the underlying challenges to the sector's sustainable profitability, but also clearly defines the opportunities for the sector to realise its full potential and continue to be a principal driver of New Zealand's economy.
Two major social events are planned during the conference: a welcome cocktail function on Sunday, July 7 and a gala dinner on Monday, July 8 - both hosted at The Langham Hotel, on Symonds Street, Auckland.
The Red Meat Sector website will be continually updated as speakers, sponsors and other details are finalised.
