Chairman’s invitation
Mr Andrew Johnson
PPPE 2018 Welcome
It is with excitement and pleasure that I welcome you to attend the
Pan Pacific Pork Expo (PPPE) 2018.
The two day event will be held at the Gold Coast Convention and
Exhibition Centre on 30–31 May 2018 with a comprehensive program
of presentations, workshops and trade displays. The year’s theme
‘Driving efficiency together’ is a call to action to bring producers and
industry stakeholders together to collaborate and adopt cost production efficiencies to overcome
the challenges facing the industry, in order to remain globally competitive.
Boosted by a strong trade exhibition, the PPPE 2018 objective for attendees remains the same; to
provide accurate, positive, relevant and high quality industry information in an engaging format. By
achieving this, producers will be motivated to apply practical knowledge and processes on farm,
for profitable and sustainable pig production.
PPPE 2018 will again precede the Poultry Information Exchange and Australasian Milling
Conference 2018 (PIX/AMC 2018), providing additional value to participants travelling to the
Gold Coast.
PPPE 2018 is designed to be the best yet. Sessions are being finalised and high profile industry
speakers are being locked in, all supporting the PPPE 2018 theme. In supporting producers,
the PPPE Committee will again provide an APL Producer Member “Attendance Assistance
Package” of return airfares plus accommodation, to ensure the greatest numbers of industry
participants are available to attend. Further information is provided in this prospectus.
We recommend you put 30–31 May 2018 in your diary to be part of it.

Chairman, PPPE 2018

Introduction Background The Pan Pacific Pork Expo (PPPE) combines a pork industry trade show and exhibition with information sessions supported by Australian Pork Limited (APL) and Pork Cooperative Research Centre (Pork CRC). Since beginning in 1998, PPPE has continued to grow, attracting both domestic and international participants. Around 500 producers, members and stakeholders will come together at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) over two days. A large indoor trade exhibition will run in conjunction with an innovative program and social functions, providing plenty of opportunity to network with key decision makers involved in the Australian pork industry, including: • Pork producers • Processors • Retail and food service industries • Researchers • Scientists • Educators • Subsidiary service providers such as insurers and financial institutions • Government officials. Who exhibits? • General product and service providers for rural industries • Producers • Government • Subsidiary service providers • Companies involved in the Australian pork industry supply chain. PPPE Committee and Secretariat The PPPE is a major forum for APL and Pork CRC Limited research initiatives and outcomes, therefore the PPPE Committee includes representatives of APL, Pork CRC and industry representatives, while APL provides the Secretariat for the PPPE Committee.
