Solutions Sumit: The Roosevelt, New Orleans October 7-9, 2026
Honoring 120 Years. Building What's Next
For 120 years, the Meat Institute has stood alongside the people who power this industry—listening to members, adapting to change, and leading with purpose through every shift the protein industry has faced. The Solutions Summit is the next expression of that tradition.
Renamed to reflect what today's leaders actually need, this conference is not built around a single issue or a single moment. It's a member-to-member experience designed to tackle the immediate pressures reshaping our industry—from AI integration and strict regulatory shifts to supply chain volatility. We're bringing together the people, perspectives, and problem-solving that have always been at the core of what this organization does best.
