Organizational History

The International Poultry Industry Exposition (IPIE) was held annually from 1968 to 1970, and was sponsored by the Chicago-based Poultry Industry Manufacturers' Council (PIMCO). The exposition, commonly called the PIMCO Show, brought together educators and businessmen involved with poultry around the world. Educational sessions were held in many areas of poultry breeding, processing, and marketing. Poultry firms, whose areas of expertise ranged from equipment to services, occupied tens of thousands of square feet of exhibit space. In 1970, PIMCO joined with the Northeast Poultry Producers Council to present the IPIE show.
