Alltech will bring its flagship agri-food event back to Lexington, Kentucky, U.S., when the Alltech ONE Conference returns to the Central Bank Center from May 18–20, 2026.
“After years of connecting virtually and exploring the world together through regional experiences, we’re bringing the Alltech ONE Conference home to Lexington,” said Dr. Mark Lyons, president and CEO of Alltech.
First held in 1985, the conference has grown into an international gathering for professionals across the agriculture and food industries. While the event remained in Lexington through 2023, Alltech launched the ONE World Tour in 2024, taking conference programming to six countries across four continents.
The 2026 conference will mark ONE’s return to its original location, where the company aims to foster discussion on critical industry topics. The program will include keynotes, expert-led sessions, and tracks focused on agriculture, animal health, sustainability and technology.
“This event has brought tens of thousands of business leaders to the Bluegrass from almost 100 different countries over the years,” Lyons said. “The connections and conversations they have had here have led to new innovations, business ventures and the creation of a community that spans the globe.”
Themed “Together, bright becomes brilliant,” ONE 2026 will continue Alltech’s emphasis on collaboration and knowledge-sharing. Pet food professionals can expect relevant insights on animal nutrition, supply chain sustainability, and global market dynamics.
“I look forward to welcoming you to our hometown — to walk the halls of Rupp Arena with old friends and new allies, and to spark the ideas that will shape our shared future,” Lyons said.
