ID/INFO EXPO 2005 slated for September in Chicago The National Institute for Animal Agriculture (NIAA) will host ID/INFO EXPO 2005, September 27-29. The event will be held at the Crown Plaza Chicago O’Hare Hotel. A
conference and trade show devoted to the subject of animal identification
and information systems, ID/INFO EXPO 2005 will focus largely on the
National Animal Identification System (NAIS), a industry/state/federal
collaborative effort, under development by the U.S. Department of
Agriculture. The
one-of-a-kind trade show will showcase a variety of animal identification
manufacturers and information systems service providers. “With
the success of the 2004 meeting, NIAA considered the need for an ID/INFO
EXPO in 2005,” said Dr. Robert Fourdraine, NIAA Animal Identification
and Information Systems Committee chair. “Based upon overwhelming
interest and support to host another meeting, we see it as a valuable
forum to advance implementation of a national system.” Preliminary
program and registration information will be published in April.
Individuals wanting to be sure they are included on the mailing
list are encouraged to go to www.animalagriculture.org,

mission is to provide forums for building consensus and advancing
