The following credit cards are accepted: Visa, MasterCard, Discover, and American Express. A Western Union money order, payable in U.S. funds, is the only form of payment accepted from West Africa, Nigeria, and Pakistan.
 
Resuming for 2011 is the popular “Members to Atlanta” (M2A) program, which waives the registration fee for attendees from member firms of either association engaged in the production of poultry, egg, and feed products.  The program is supported through the sponsorship of elite Expo exhibitors.  They include Agranco Corp. USA, Alaso, Alltech, Aviagen, Cobb-Vantress, Diamond V, ISI-Incubator Supply, Jamesway, Meyn, Marel Stork Poultry Processing, Pfizer Poultry Health, and Val-Co.
 
“We acknowledge and thank these elite exhibiting companies for participating in the M2A program,” said Steve Willardsen, Cargill Value Added Meats, Wichita, KS, and U.S. Poultry & Egg Association chairman.  “M2A played a major role increasing attendance and contributing to the success of the 2010 Expo.  We expect M2A to be even better utilized this year and continue to add excitement through the support of these elite sponsors.”
 
Badges will be mailed to U.S. and Canadian attendees beginning in early October.  International attendees will pick up their badges on site at the Georgia World Congress Center in the International Business Center. 
 
The Expo will showcase the latest technology, equipment, and services used in the production and processing of poultry and feed products.  It will also feature dynamic education programs addressing current industry issues.  The world’s largest poultry and feed industry gathering is the networking event of the year for industry leaders from 100 nations.
