Sixth annual Aqua Feed Extrusion Conference to take place online in January 2022

Due to the ongoing worldwide pandemic, the management teams of VICTAM Corporation and VIV worldwide have decided to postpone VICTAM Asia and Health & Nutrition Asia in Bangkok to the third quarter of 2022. The current situation is still not as optimal as it was estimated. Above all, the health of exhibitors and visitors and the successful outcome of the event are most important to the organisers.

In light of the recent increase in Covid-19 cases, which has forced the Royal Thai Government to implement new strict measures to control the spread of the pandemic, and the delays of the vaccination programs in several Asian countries, VICTAM and VIV do not see the opportunity to realise a large-scale event on the short term. Looking at the ongoing travel restrictions from and to Asia, the organisers also believe that it is not possible to guarantee the event quality that we know them for. The postponement to the third quarter of 2022 is in the interest of the whole industry.

Management team for the Aqua feed Conference decided to hold their 6th annual Aqua feed Extrusion conference virtually as with the last event on January 11-12 and not to postpone. They already have commitment from the major extruder companies (Andrtiz, Clextal, Extru- Tech, Wenger) as well as other equipment and ingredients suppliers to give talks at this conference, (Reynolds Engineering, Kemin and Texas A&M University). Very soon they will be adding more speakers in the program. If any equipment or ingredients company is interested to give talk at this conference, they can contact Dr. Mian N. Riaz, from Texas A&M University via his email (mnriaz@tamu.edu). The program will be finalised soon and will email to everyone.

The experience and feedback from the last two virtual live online conferences was excellent. Since several participants told us that they could have not travel because of several reasons but they were able to join us via zoom to listen about the latest technology. This year again they are planning for two days Virtual LIVE online conference via zoom.
