The Midwest Poultry Federation received the Excellence in Meeting, Events and Conventions Award from the Meet Minneapolis Organization.  The award recognizes the impact of the PEAK Event, previously the Midwest Poultry Federation Convention that moved from St. Paul in 2018 to the City of Minneapolis.

Melvin Tenant president and CEO of Meet Minneapolis stated, “Each year PEAK attendance grows and the commitment to Minneapolis is a testament to the trusting partnership that has been built between the Midwest Poultry Federation and their partners including the Convention Center, City hotels and much more.

The PEAK Event is managed by Empowered Events, LLC a full-service meetings and events management company based in Buffalo, MN.  Lara Durbin previously affiliated with the Midwest Poultry Federation, and her partner Teresa Sorensen are the driving force behind the PEAK event that combines a trade show, education, entertainment and a forum for industry interaction.  The Excellence in Meetings award recognizes the success of consecutive PEAK conventions, attributed to the efforts of Empowered Events and their ability to plan and execute with attention to detail.
