We've got a world class roster of speakers, leveraging experts from around the world to share their perspective on producer opportunities in 2021. Want to get an update on the "megafarm" 84,000 sow farrow to finish operation in China? We've got that. Need an update on the latest and greatest vaccine technologies? We'll have Mike Roof educate us on what's in the innovation pipeline. Interested in where commodity markets are expected to go? Brett Stuart has got you covered.
In addition to our normal roster of industry experts, we're exceptionally excited to announce a special Keynote speaker - Coach Bret Beilema, Head Football Coach of the University of Illinois. Coach grew up on a farrow to finish hog farm in Prophetstown, Illinois before going on to a championship coaching career in both NCAA and NFL levels. Coach Beilema will share how his farm background and upbringing has directly prepared him for his current role as a Head Coach. Knowing the last year has been an emotional roller coaster for the swine industry, we asked Coach to share his experiences with "Overcoming Adversity" and he'll you take you through a journey of how he's overcome losses in his personal life. You won't want to miss Coach Beilema's presentation, his personal story is sure to tug on your heart strings and will inspire you to work hard, acknowledge the aversity presented to you and collaborate with your teams and family to overcome adversity together.
