5th Egg Quality and Hen Welfare Summit

November 2nd, 2023 Shanghai Conrad Hotel (Shanghai city, Minhang district, Shenhong Road, No. 333)

We are honoured to invite you to the annual “5th Egg Quality and Hen Welfare (China) Summit” occurring on November 2, 2023, at the Shanghai Conrad Hotel. The theme for this years’ conference is “Confidence, Collaboration, and Development”. We are excited to provide this platform for stakeholders across the egg industry chain to share experiences, exchange knowledge, and build connections.

In today’s saturated egg supply market, upgrading and differentiating egg products have become a critical trend. Globally, over 2,000 companies have committed to sourcing 100% cage-free eggs by 2025, of which over 150 companies also made this commitment in China. This growing demand for cage-free eggs provides unprecedented opportunities for us!

The “Egg Summit” is an excellent opportunity for key stakeholders to network, especially between international egg buyers and cage-free egg producers. This conference will bring together numerous experts and scholars, facilitating producers and buyers to jointly explore cutting-edge technologies and best practices for cage-free systems. Together, we will promote healthy and rapid development of egg quality and hen welfare in China.

Free attendance for egg buyers and producers, 800 RMB/person for all other members
