World Pork Expo is excited to introduce a new competitive speaking event for young adults passionate about the future of the pork industry! Sponsored by Novus and NutraBlend, the Young Pork Advocates Issues Meet is designed for pork enthusiasts aged 17-22 to engage with real-world industry challenges. Participants will research, problem-solve, discuss, and draft mock motions, gaining valuable experience in NPPC’s policy development process.
The competition will be held during the Expo and has a series of round robin discussions on day 1. Day 2 features the final rounds and culminates in an exciting results announcement. Scholarships ranging from $1,000 to $2,500 and a trip to the NPPC Legislative Action Conference await the top winners!
