Gathering of dairy and beef producers on a global scale

The Gathering initiative has convinced global agricultural and food company Alltech to relocate its well-attended annual Global 500 event for the first time from Lexington, Kentucky, to Dublin.

Headed up by Irishman Dr Pearse Lyons, Alltech has its European headquarters in Dunboyne, Co Meath, and the company’s leaders see Ireland as an ideal location for the world’s most progressive dairy and beef producers to network with peers at their Global 500, and explore the most pressing issues facing both industries.

In Europe for the first time, the event is in the RDS in Dublin on Oct 1-3.
