CBIC 2023: Uniting the Canadian Beef Industry for Growth, Innovation, and Networking in Calgary

Jul 19, 2023

The Canadian Beef Industry Conference (CBIC) is the meeting place for the Canadian beef industry. It is a collaboration of the Beef Cattle Research Council, Canada Beef, Canadian Beef Breeds Council, Canadian Cattle Association and National Cattle Feeders Association. The four-day event will bring together over 700 attendees that include producers, government agencies and industry leaders to network, share ideas and grow their operations. Make CBIC part of your strategy for increasing business and connecting to the national beef industry leaders.

This year in Calgary, there will be keynote speakers such as Cherie Copithorne-Barnes with Brian Burke, NHL Leader, Community Activist and Philanthropist and Diana Rodgers of Global Food Justice Alliance. Breakout sessions focusing on sustainability, marketing and biosecurity will feature producers from across Canada sharing their experiences.

Hear from producers on what they have "butchered" and how they moved on from their mistakes, and learn about new product innovation on the tradeshow floor.

Participate in hands-on demonstrations with stock dogs and cattle in the rodeo arena bowl, and show off your skills in the CBIC Boot Camp. Grow your network with multiple opportunities to connect with over 50 organizations on the tradeshow floor. To close out the conference, join your colleagues and cheer for your favorites at the exclusive Bullfighters Only Showdown. Tell your friends about the BFO event - it is a great way to spend time with co-workers and friends outside of a conference setting.
