Dear Colleagues,

             It is a pleasure to inform you that the IV Mediterranean Poultry Summit of the WPSA (Mediterranean Poultry Network) will be held in Beirut, Lebanon from the 2nd to 5th of September 2014. The event is organized by The Lebanese Branch of The WPSA in cooperation with the American University of Beirut, The programme and updates are available on the web site.
The summit is a unique opportunity for the Mediterranean countries to meet and discuss problems and challenges of the poultry industry in the region and beyond. September is a beautiful month in Lebanon, when the climate will be ideal to enjoy the outdoors and the many historical sites in the country. We also look forward then for a very peaceful environment when most of the local political problems of the country would have been resolved. I want at this time to thank all our sponsors and those that have indicated their desire to become sponsors for our summit. We assure them that we value their trust in us and with their help we promise that we will do our best to deliver and make this summit the best of them all.
