The event will include meetings with professionals and guided tours of the pavilions.

The organizers have also announced their collaboration with the i+Porc cluster to strengthen the participation of vocational training centers and students, as well as their role as Gold Sponsor of the third AgroInfluye Awards, which will be held on February 18, 2027.
