The Annual Conference of the National Institute for Animal Agriculture is an interdisciplinary convening of animal agriculture leaders to network while exploring, discussing, learning, and developing knowledge that leads to greater collaboration and cooperation. NIAA’s annual conference is highly engaging with keynote speakers who inspire and spark ideas, thoughts, and questions that can be further explored during Council and Working Group meetings.

Additionally, NIAA annual conference provides a space for deeper dives into specific topics that affect multiple species and/or multiple sectors of the animal agriculture value chain. The 2025 focus is enhancing animal agriculture’s freedom to operate.

The conference will be hosted at the The Kauffman Foundation Conference Center located at 4801 Rockhill Road, Kansas City, MO 64110. Parking is complementary at the Conference Center and located on the north side of the building.
