The Meat Industry Association of New Zealand's (MIA) Annual Conference took place over 14 & 15 September in Dunedin this year. The event was an informative and enjoyable two days, with over 120 delegates coming from around New Zealand and overseas to attend. Speakers were of a high calibre and all delivered stimulating addresses on topics ranging from climate change and innovation opportunities, to the upcoming election.
