Alltech announces 2010 European Lecture series

The year 2009 was marked by almost unprecedented crisis which had a domino effect across the globe. However, in the midst of crisis, many organisations renounced the danger and chose instead to embrace the opportunities presented.

 

This resilience and ability to ‘Bounce Back’ is the theme of Alltech’s 2010 European Lecture Tour.

 

Speakers on the 39 stop tour, taking place from February 1st -12th, will explore how agriculture and the animal production industry can bounce back from an arduous year of high raw material prices and low profits and bounce forward to a year of growth and profitability.

 

“The Bounce Back lecture series will focus on how to succeed in life and in business – it is a forum for solutions.

 

“We invite attendees to bounce back from the challenges of the past year and to bounce forward with optimism, with innovative technologies and with a fresh approach.

 

“We also want to discuss how we as an industry need to bounce back, satisfy consumer demands, and put ourselves on more solid footing for the future through branding,” said Alltech President, Dr. Pearse Lyons.

 

The ‘Bounce Back’ programme will present nutritional and business strategies that companies can employ to ensure strong earnings and to increase profitability in 2010.

 

Industry concerns such as an ever-increasing demand for traceability and the inability to secure consistent raw materials will be addressed.

 

Building sustainable teams through the training and development of employees, strategy formulation as well as establishing progressive management systems will be explored.

 

The ‘Bounce Back’ programme is based on a model that Alltech has successfully implemented across its global offices and facilities.

 

In a year of crisis, this model has enabled Alltech to continue to increase sales and growth as well as building five manufacturing facilities around the world and opening a unique co-generation plant in Serbia and a new facility in Clovis, New Mexico.

 

During the ‘Bounce Back’ lecture tours, participants will be provided with ten key points of ‘Bounce Back’ as well as ten factors that are essential in order to attract, train and retain talented team members.

 

For the first time ever, the tour will feature panel discussions which will invite guests to submit questions in advance.

 

Questions can range from business strategies such as better staff training as well as fundamental nutritional strategies.

 

“This year’s tour is not just about nutrition but it is also about profit, sustainability and building a platform for the future. In 2009 Alltech was recognised as one of the seven greenest companies in the USA by Inc. magazine. With the European Lecture Tour, we invite you to learn from our experiences and to share your ideas with us on how we can all work together to build a sustainable future as well as a better today”, continued Dr. Pearse Lyons.
