SURRY HILLS, AUSTRALIA — Organizers of the annual Poultry Information Exchange and Australasian Milling Conference (PIX/AMC) announced on Dec. 16 that the conference is being postponed again until 2022.

The event had originally been scheduled for May 17-19, 2020, but it was postponed until April 11-13, 2021, because of the COVID-19 pandemic. With the number of global cases once again surging, conference organizers have decided to push the event back once again to May 2022.

“Due to the continuing movement restrictions, we are unable to hold the international conference PIX/AMC has grown to be,” event organizers said in a release on the PIX/AMC website. “The international movement restrictions combined with the continuing company-based restrictions imposed on staff aided the organizing committee in making the tough decision to further postpone PIX/AMC.

“The ongoing safety of our partners, exhibitors, attendees and organizers are paramount to us. As such, this delay will allow for control mechanisms like the vaccine to be rolled out domestically and internationally.”

The event will be held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre (GCCEC) on the Gold Coast, Queensland.
