The Chicken Marketing Summit is a unique opportunity for poultry industry stakeholders to learn about the opportunities and challenges for chicken being driven by fast-changing consumer trends.  In addition, the annual retail/foodservice poultry buyer panel will once again be part of the summit program. This panel discussion is expected to be of particular interest and will give summit attendees the opportunity to ask questions directly to the panelists.

This year’s panel consists of the following individuals:

  • Rod Antolock, President, Harris Teeter
  • Barry Barnett, Senior VP Global Supply Chain and Purchasing, Church’s Chicken
  • Eric Christianson, Senior VP/General Manager of Marketing, Perdue Foods
  • David Rothmeier, Manager, Supply Chain Sourcing, Chick-fil-A

A new addition to the Chicken Marketing Summit this year is the opportunity to participate  in optional group activities in and around Asheville for those who may not plan to play golf.  Options include a Biltmore Estate Tour, waterfall hiking, a guided arts tour, and horseback rinding.  For more information about these options, visit http://www.wattglobalmedia.com/chickenmarketingsummit/ and click on optional activities.
