THE FUTURE OF BUSINESS

Disruption in Washington PROFESSOR DAMIEN MCLOUGHLIN

As Washington D.C. adjusts to a new president and a new political landscape, what can we expect? How will our expectations be disrupted? How will these changes affect the food chain? How will our relationships with Russia,China and other countries around the globe affect the way America does business and how the world interacts? What happens if long-standing free trade agreements become a thing of the past? What new technologies, fresh initiatives and unexpected opportunities might we see in this new landscape, which would have been unimaginable to us just a few years ago?

Are the Disruptors being Disrupted? AIDAN CONNOLLY

What was disruptive yesterday may no longer be disruptive today. The world is constantly changing. How do current disruptors keep up? Amazon, the disruptor that revolutionized the retail industry with online shopping, is now having to find ways to recreate and regenerate excitement through what may be considered traditional tactics. Walmart, which originated as a brick-and-mortar empire, is giving online retailers a run for their money with its recent acquisition of Jet. Both companies are in a race to win. What will it take? As disruptors, they have to be willing to make mistakes and fail before succeeding in order to come out on top. Are you willing to fail to seek new heights? How can you withstand the test of time and constant disruption?

Meeting the Demands of the "Rising Billion" DR. MARK LYONS

By 2020, 3 to 5 billion more people will be connected around the world and will begin contributing to the global economy by having new access to the internet. Currently, Google's Project Loon is connecting people through thousands of balloons traveling through space, providing internet to remote areas that do not get coverage. Within the next five years, SpaceX will release 700 small satellites into orbit that will provide internet access around the world, specifically to rural, developing areas. These are just two of the disruptive technologies that will create massive growth in human connectivity by 2020. How will this affect your industry? What sort of disruption will this cause? We must be prepared. Come learn how you can embrace this disruption.

Can Agriculture Save the Planet Before It Destroys It? JACK A. BOBO

Do consumers know where their food comes from? Do they care? As the population is predicted to grow to 9 billion people by 2050, science and technology's involvement in agriculture will become increasingly important. How can this be communicated to consumers? It's up to us to tell the story.

Business Wise or Predictably Irrational? How to Use Tools From Psychology to Drive Your Business DR. AOIFE LYONS

Why is the negative feeling of losing $50 stronger than the satisfaction of finding $50? Why will we drive across town to save $5 on a $20 radio but not to save $5 on a $500 TV? Would you buy a new BBQ for $900? Perhaps not. Would you buy a $900 BBQ if it was sitting next to one for $1,200? Maybe.

Explore the psychology of the financial decisions we all make on a daily basis, and learn valuable tools to drive your business decisions. We are all predictably irrational in ways you might have never considered.

THE FUTURE OF SCIENCE

The Rise of Programmed Nutrition DR. VAUGHN HOLDER

Consumers want juicier meat, healthier animals, traceability and antibiotic-free products. Businesses that aren't responding to consumers' requirements may soon find that the consumer has passed them by.

This is the coming of age of "programmed nutrition," a completely new approach to animal nutrition and productivity that bypasses conventional pharmaceutical and antibiotic practices. Discover the efficiency advantages of organic trace minerals, the alternatives to antibiotics and where the industry is heading.

The Next Blockbuster Drug A Gold Mine of Opportunity or a Target for Disruption? DR. RONAN POWER

What if you had a single drug that could prevent not one killer disease, but several? Would this be embraced by the pharmaceutical industry or suppressed in order to protect a multi-billion dollar field occupied by scores of drugs for the diseases in question? Furthermore, by what means would you attract the investment needed to launch a product that flies in the face of the current tenets of drug therapy? How would you approach this problem, and would you, personally, be brave enough to invest in such a product?

The Biologist's Toolbox Gene Editing Technology DR. KARL DAWSON

Precise gene editing technologies are rapidly becoming part of the biologist's tool box, and with them comes the ability to change the way we define agriculture and battle disease. It is clear that these technologies will provide new strategies for problem solving, but will they also push the ethical limits of biological manipulation?

Alltech Young Scientist DR. AOIFE LYONS

The Alltech Young Scientist program is the most prestigious agriscience competition in the world. Every year, Alltech invites talented undergraduate and graduate students to address industry challenges through innovative research. After the initial rounds of judging, eight finalists from around the world will join us for the final competition in Kentucky during ONE: The Alltech Ideas Conference.

The Time is Now Are You Ready to be a Disruptor? DR. PEARSE LYONS

There is no time to waste. Now is the time to be a disruptor. The opportunities are endless, and the world is at your fingertips. The key is believing that anything is possible. Many will sit passively and let the world pass them by. True disruptors do not. Are you a true disruptor? What will you do to make a change? To make a difference?

RiverdanceThe global phenomenon, back by popular demand! Despite continuous government support, traditional Irish art forms struggled to survive throughout the 1960s in an increasingly interconnected world. Nowhere was this more obvious than in Irish dance. Although similar in its roots to Spanish flamenco and the Argentinian tango, Irish dance was more restricted in its expression by the prevailing culture, eventually becoming limited to a small but committed minority who preserved its integrity.All this changed completely at the 1994 Eurovision Song Contest, when a troupe performed Irish dance to music composed by Bill Whelan. At that moment, Riverdance was born. Since then, the show has been performed at over 450 locations and has been seen by more than 25 million people. See why this acclaimed Irish performing art has captivated audiences around the world.

Who are the disruptors in your industry? What are the ideas that will turn your industry on its head? Are you prepared?

FOCUS SESSION

Breaking the Mold Better Meat, Better Profit PROFESSOR MAURICE BOLAND

It's been said that cattle have reached maximum efficiency. They haven't. It's been said that cattle can't increase carcass weight. Yes, they can. See how a two-year experiment with Alltech nutrition at the world’s largest privately owned feedlot company, Cactus Feeders, has discovered the next generation of profitable feeding strategies.

A Head-Out-of-the-Sand Approach DR. VAUGHN HOLDER

Learn how you can embrace problems, solve issues and reframe your image. By taking a different approach, you can be a pioneer in bringing unique, traceable and healthy beef products to the world marketplace.

How? By leveraging key industry resources and "steaking" your claim, from farm to fork.

Regenerative Grazing The Next Disruptor PATRICK CHARLTON

It used to be enough for products to be labeled as grass-fed, but now it is no longer enough. We also have to understand the impact of cows on the environment. Can manure from grazing cattle act as a natural fertilizer to regenerate topsoil on land used for growing crops? Is this a revolution for the beef and cattle industries, or is it an existing story we simply have yet to tell?

BioBarrels Providing Nutrition without Pollution or Residues DR. DAN DHUYVETTER

As the animals consume the barrel, they consume the minerals inside, which are natural enhancers of rumen fermentation. The animals always return to this unique delivery system for more. BioBarrels use the "ice cream cone" concept in their design and therefore enable the farmer to save water, reduce feed consumption and maximize efficiency.

Craft Beers Disrupting National Chains ROBIN LITTLE

How can craft brewers make their mark in big box stores? In the midst of 5,000 breweries in the U.S., how do you make sure your beer is selected to be sold, and how do you make your product stand out on the shelf?

A new disruptor has appeared on the beverage scene: shochu from Hawaii. Arriving in Hawaii in 2008, shochu originated in Kagoshima, Japan, the epicenter of shōchū production for over 100 years. Making a traditional sweet potato shochu is not new, but promoting it is. Will it become like moonshine in Tennessee and Kentucky, or will it remain in Hawaii and Japan? In this industry, disruptors like shōchū are welcome.

Moonshine Gatlinburg's Secret is Out MARK COFFMAN

How did the sleepy towns of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, become a tourism colossus? Driven by the fame of country singer Dolly Parton, this area has become a mecca for moonshine, tourists and thousands of jobs. Are you ready for your own Gatlinburg?

BREWING + DISTILLINGFOCUS SESSION

History in the Remaking Pearse Lyons Distillery DR. PEARSE LYONS

The Liberties, an ancient part of Dublin named for its king-given right to pay no taxes, was once a bustling area of industry known for its "boots, brews and biscuits" manufacturing. In 1886, this area boasted the largest brewery in the world, Guinness, and the largest distillery in the world, the George Roe Distillery.

How can we complement the rich history of the area while disrupting the traditional distillers? Can we compete with the 1.5 million visitors to Guinness each year by offering a unique experience of our own? Pearse Lyons Distillery, right in the heart of the Liberties, offers a story of benevolent disruption, but disruption nonetheless. Come hear how the Liberties are both a reminder of a place of freedom and a place for new ideas.

The World's Most Valuable Liquor Company in 2017. It's Not What You Expect! DR. INGE RUSSELL

The once-staid global alcohol industry is undergoing massive changes. The world's most valuable liquor company in 2017 is not Diageo, the owner of Johnnie Walker, but a Chinese company that makes baijiu, a distilled product whose name is barely recognized outside of China. How has digital media and nontraditional marketing disrupted how alcoholic beverages are branded and marketed globally? Innovative production and packaging technologies, health halos, stemming the production of counterfeit alcoholic beverages, and addressing the purchasing power and the demands of the millennial consumer all require a new mindset.

BUSINESS + F INANCE

Walmart Higher Pay, More Sales, More Profit PROFESSOR DAMIEN MCLOUGHLIN

Coming off 45 straight years of growth, supermarket giant Walmart’s sales began to fall for five straight quarters in 2015. Instead of cost cutting and penny pinching, Walmart went against the grain and announced a pay raise for its employees. This action, called "efficiency wages," was a monumental disruption. It made consumer corporate heads and unions uncomfortable and bewildered staff, but it resulted in sales growth, and customer service ratings rocketed.

If you were Walmart, how long would you have waited to make a change? Not long. If you are Walmart, you become the disruptor. Will this last for 45 years? Probably not. The company will need another disruption.

The U.S. economy is watching. Walmart is watching. We are all watching. Is this the way of the future?

Acquisition Lessons CHRIS STOTT

Multiple acquisitions, an algae plant operating at maximum capacity, three breweries, two visitors centers, a statin-like product for Alzheimer’s disease in Phase II of U.S. Food and Drug Administration trials, a natural red color, a revitalization of a city in eastern Kentucky and nearly 30 strategic research alliances with universities around the world. Is this an exceptional year for Alltech, or is it a normal year? Come learn lessons you can use that we have discovered through acquisitions.

Little Box Stores with Big Ideas The Cowtown Experience RANDY LAMONTAGNE

How do entrepreneurs put ideas into action? Today, Cowtown has all things cowboy, from boots to hats to jeans, and all things pet, from foods to treats. Tomorrow, who knows? Will they have feed for ornamental fish and small animals? How do you disrupt the big box stores and create a $20 million business with great profits and constant growth over five years?

Great Britain: Life After Brexit Pros & Cons CHRIS STOTT

Is Great Britain an emerging market? Is Great Britain an opportunity? The answer should be "Yes" to both. However, when Great Britain voted to leave the European Union, many felt this was a return to isolationism. Many felt it was a vote against immigrants. Many felt it was a vote against the bureaucracy of a French- and German-dominated Brussels. Whatever the reason, it is happening, and politicians have staked their positions.

Not everybody is feeling downbeat. The pharmaceutical company GlaxoSmithKline says it will invest £275 million in Great Britain. What is it seeing that the rest are not? What does Brexit mean for business? How do we seize the opportunities in what is obviously a challenging situation? Is there an opportunity here to be a disruptor?

The Microalgae Opportunity Opportunity for Disruption DR. SASHA TOZZI

Three Emerging Markets of Asia Cambodia, Mongolia and MyanmarCHANATIP PADUNGDETPATSUN, ZAMBAGA TULGA, CHANNARITH KY

In the ever-changing legal and investment landscape of developing countries, such as Cambodia, how can we utilize the economic potential this highly-connected region provides? Overshadowed during the 20th century by the neighboring Soviet Union and China, Mongolia is now returning to the scene. Where does this land of steppes and pastures fit into the landscape of Asian economies? As Myanmar, historically communist, moves toward an openness that hasn’t been seen in 50 years, what does this emerging marketplace mean for the world?

What can we expect to see? How can we be a disruption? How can we be first? How can we sense the opportunities? How can we put in an investment? It is not about going on trade missions. It is about going, embracing the culture and being there.

Understanding the Indian Nod and Touch for Success DR. AMAN SAYED

FOODFOCUS SESSION

Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free, Soy-Free Are These Diets Here to Stay? NIKKI PUTNAM

Is gluten-free a disruption? If so, how can we achieve gluten-free in all foods and feeds, not just selected ones? Gluten-free sales have jumped 12 percent to $61.3 billion. Is this a disruptor in the food industry? What about dairy-free or soy-free?

"Free-from" diets are gaining popularity, and producers should find ways to get on board. Sainsbury’s and Tesco both have "free-from" food sections in their stores, and sales have skyrocketed over the past few years. How can we get involved in this sector? What potential can be tapped into in this market?

Disrupting the International Marketplace: Dean & DeLuca TAICHI FUJIWARA

How did two disruptors take a dream and turn it into reality?

Disrupting the Medical Hierarchy Expensive Medical Clinics are in the Past DR. JUD CHALKLEY

When did you last go to the doctor? Did you have to stand in line? How long did it take to read your MRI or review your CAT scan? Did you have glasses within hours or x-rays within minutes? The story of Salud Digna in Mexico began when the founder of SuKarne had to wait 3–4 weeks for a doctor’s appointment and an additional month for his son's MRI to be read. It has become the story of 6.5 million patients across three main campuses and 52 satellite clinics. It is a story of providing glasses for $20 and a trip to the doctor for $15. Would it work in your country? Would it disrupt the medical profession?

Antibiotic Regulations What Have We Learned? DR. DAVID FUNDERBURKE

The Veterinary Feed Directive (VFD) has brought disruption to the pork industry in the United States as antibiotic use is being reduced and restricted around the world. What has changed, and where do we go from here? Can nutrition be the solution and the front line of defense?

More Pigs, More Problems? DR. JULES TAYLOR-PICKARD

Are more piglets sustainable for the sow? It is important to find the balance between quantity and quality. Pork production is up. What does this mean for the industry globally in 2017? How can producers continue to drive profits? Can we disrupt this trend and decrease production costs without affecting performance?

POULTRYFOCUS SESSION

In Ovo Counting Your Chickens Before They Hatch DR. PETER FERKET

It used to be 80 days to market, and now it's 40 or less. Could we even reach 30 days to market? In ovo feeding, in ovo vaccinating and in ovo sexing are all ways to improve the quality of our birds before they even hatch. Can in ovo techniques be the next disruption in the poultry industry? What is the current state of this technology, and what benefits can it bring the consumer?

Chickens by Design DR. KARINA HORGAN

In 2012, Emmanuelle Charpentier and Jennifer Doudna from the University of California, Berkeley invented a way of editing genes known as CRISPR/Cas9. This revolutionary and disruptive technology is making its mark in agriculture, especially the poultry industry. In April 2016, a group of scientists, led by Isao Oishi of Japan's National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, discovered how to use CRISPR/Cas9 to successfully modify the genome of chickens for the first time. What does this mean for the humble chicken? What implications will this technology have for America’s favorite meat?

Doing More with Less STEVE ELLIOTT

Are all trace minerals created equal? Can we reduce environmental impact by using organic trace mineral technology? Learn how to disrupt the current approach.

Chickens and Eggs PAULO RIGOLIN

Backyard farming is growing in the United States. In the meantime, other countries are driving integration with larger farms. In doing so, they become more efficient and take control over external diseases. With this growth comes opportunities for chicken shampoos, free-range chickens, enriched eggs and chickens as pets.

Is this a market? What are the volumes?

Slow-Grown Disruption DR. EILIR JONES

In the spring of 2016, Whole Foods Market announced the switch from industry-standard chickens to slower-growing varieties that they believe will yield a better-tasting meat for their customers.

Is this movement an industry disruption? These slower-growing birds will need more feed and water before they even reach the marketplace. Will this be sustainable in a world where natural resources are becoming increasingly scarce?

Disruption of the Antibiotic-Free SystemDR. KAYLA PRICE

As the use of antibiotics is being reduced and restricted worldwide, what factors are disrupting the success of antibiotic-free programs? Feed contaminants, such as mycotoxins, can influence gut health and pathogen prevalence and may be playing a greater role in poultry production than we think. How is feed quality influencing this new system featuring fewer antibiotics?
