IPPE 2027: Connecting the Meat, Poultry, Egg and Animal Feed Industries
The International Production & Processing Expo (IPPE) 2027 takes place January 26–28, 2027, at the Georgia World Congress Center in Atlanta, Georgia. The exhibition brings together equipment, ingredients, technology and services for poultry, egg, meat and animal food production.
Combining the International Feed Expo, International Meat Expo and International Poultry Expo, IPPE connects buyers with suppliers across several stages of production. Visitors can compare processing equipment, investigate manufacturing improvements and arrange technical discussions with potential suppliers.
What Can You Find Across the IPPE Exhibition Halls?
IPPE is relevant to plant managers, purchasing teams, engineers, researchers and business owners sourcing equipment or services for feed manufacturing and protein production. Its range allows visitors to investigate ingredients, production systems, processing and packaging within one event.
The official 2027 directory groups the exhibition into these areas:
- Green Hall A: Animal food ingredients and equipment, animal health and rendering.
- Red Hall B and Blue Halls BC/C: Egg production and processing, genetics, incubation, live production, animal health, food and worker safety, meat and poultry processing, packaging and rendering.
Use the official IPPE 2027 exhibitor directory to shortlist suppliers and check booth locations. Grouping appointments by hall can help you avoid repeatedly crossing the venue. Because some sectors appear in multiple halls, confirm each company’s individual listing.
IPPE 2027 Tickets, Visitor Access and Exhibitor Booking

Companies planning to exhibit should use the official exhibitor application page to review space-booking information and submit an application. Official booth allocation is handled by show management. Booth design, fabrication and installation are separate arrangements made around your confirmed space.
Plan Your Arrival at Georgia World Congress Center
Choose your arrival point around your first appointment or assigned exhibition hall. IPPE’s parking guidance identifies the Yellow Lot as closest to Building C, while the Red and Orange Decks serve Buildings A and B.
Use the official parking information to access reservations and check current terms. Confirm your building before selecting parking, particularly if you are carrying demonstration materials.
What to Prepare Before Designing Your IPPE Booth
For exhibitors, the booth layout needs to accommodate the product and the conversation around it. Before approving a design, prepare these details:
- Machinery footprint: Record equipment dimensions, weight, access requirements and space needed for operators or maintenance demonstrations.
- Demonstration utilities: Identify electrical, water, compressed-air and internet needs before placing service orders.
- Ingredients and samples: Decide how products will be labeled, stored and presented. Confirm applicable sampling arrangements before planning food demonstrations.
- Technical meetings: Provide somewhere to discuss specifications, plant requirements and quotations without obstructing demonstrations.
These are planning considerations. Mandatory requirements and assigned freight times must be checked against the exhibitor documentation for your booth.
Key Dates for Booth Approvals, Setup and Dismantling
The published planning calendar identifies several milestones worth adding to your project schedule:
| Date | Action |
|---|---|
| October 30, 2026 | Submit layouts for peninsula, split-island peninsula and island booths of 300 sq. ft. or larger. |
| January 5, 2027 | Submit applicable Exhibitor Appointed Contractor documentation and insurance; request changes to assigned target times where needed. |
| January 25, 2027, 6:00 p.m. | Complete exhibit installation within the permitted schedule. |
| January 28, 2027, 3:00 p.m. | Exhibition closes and dismantling begins. |
Follow your assigned move-in slot rather than assuming access throughout the installation period. Also, do not plan an immediate departure for the packing team: organizers advise that all empty crates and cartons may not be returned until 11:00 p.m. on closing day. Check the current exhibitor resources and planning calendar before finalizing freight and crew travel.
