Plans are in place for the National Chicken Council’s 61st Annual Conference scheduled to be held in Washington, D.C. at the Ritz-Carlton on Wednesday, October 28 and Thursday, October 29.  If you plan on participating in the conference and have not yet registered, we recommend you do so in the near future.

To register, visit the conference website at www.nationalchickencouncil.org/conference/.  Click on “Register Now,” located on the right-hand side of the home page.  You will be asked to log in with your user name and passcode.  Your user name is your business email address on file with NCC.  If you do not remember your passcode, you can recover it via the log-in page.  If you need assistance, contact Debra Newman in the  NCC office at [email protected].

If you are registered but have not yet made a hotel reservation, please note that the Ritz-Carlton discounted hotel room block will close next week on Tuesday, October 6.  After that date, hotel rooms at the discounted rate will no longer be available.
