The National Chicken Council, in cooperation with the National Poultry & Food Distributors Association (NPFDA), held its annual marketing seminar this week on Sunday, July 12 through Tuesday, July 14 at the Omni Amelia Island Plantation Resort in Amelia Island, Florida.

Approximately 150 individuals representing NCC and NPFDA member companies, as well as representatives from the foodservice and retail segments attended this week’s meeting.  A range of topics were discussed in the general sessions including presentations on how millennials are changing the meat case; chicken consumption trends; the outlook for chicken, beef, and pork; and how to build consumer trust and confidence in the food industry, among others.
