Is Science Enough?

Lessons Learned from an Activist’s World

Presenters: Kathy Cornett, McCormick Company and Kori Skinner, McCormick Company

Take a 360-degree look at critical consumer, activist, and regulatory communications issues surrounding animal agriculture. Food safety, animal welfare, biotechnology, environmental protection, and labor relations – everywhere you turn these issues have great potential to impact our industry. We’ll focus on anti-ag activists and the effect they’re having. Understand who’s who, where they get their resources, and what they claim they want. Then, learn how ag is responding, where we’ve been successful, and how we’re just throwing fuel on the fire. Finally, discover what you can do to help balance the scales and protect, even improve, the image of our industry as well as your company and products.

All professionals and graduate students are encouraged to attend. The presentation will be appropriate for product research and development scientists, product marketing managers, field sales/technical personnel, and communications professionals.
