Day-long Seminar Programme At Beef Expo
A day-long series of nine 20-minute seminars on a range of practical issues,
concluding with a panel discussion in “Question Time” format, will
be one of the major features at Beef Expo 2006.
The UK’s annual national beef event is being held at Harrison and Hetherington’s
Borderway Mart, Carlisle on Friday, June 2, and is being organised by the National
Beef Association.
“We have a galaxy of speakers who are recognised experts in their own
fields and visitors will be able to “match and mix” the seminars
they wish to attend,” said Ian Watson, chairman of the Beef Expo organising
committee. “The format is a short, sharp presentation from the speaker,
followed by a question and answer session, with the whole session taking no
more than 30 minutes, leaving visitors plenty of time to view all the other
activities which make Beef Expo such an important event for the beef industry.”
Subjects to be covered by the seminars (programme attached) will range from
animal health and nutrition to the prospects for exporting both beef and live
cattle.
The day’s programme will conclude at 3.30 p.m. with a “Question
time” chaired by Alan Bowe, chairman of the Harrison and Hetherington
Group. The panel members will be Robert Forster, chief executive of the National
Beef Association, Peter Kendal, president of the National Farmers Union, John
Cross, chairman of EBLEX, and Norman Bagley, policy director, AIMS.
