69 Countries Represented At Alltelch Conference

More than 3,000 leaders and entrepreneurs from around the world are in Lexington this week for the 34th annual Alltech Ideas Conference. 

69 countries are represented at this year’s ONE conference which brings global research in nutrition, medicine, agriculture and leadership to Kentucky.  Mark Lyons, Alltech’s Global Vice President said that along with sharing ideas, the company hopes guests will see Central Kentucky as a potential site to bring business.  “When they see all that Lexington and Kentucky have to offer, we hope they will make their visits more frequent than once a year and possibly even look at the area as a possibility for their own growth.”

Tuesday’s featured guests are former NASA Astronaut and Retired U.S. Naval Captain James Lovell and Apple Co-founder Steve Wozniak.  Thickets will be available to the general public for $75 each.  The ONE Alltech Ideas Conference is being held at Heritage Hall and Rupp Arena in downtown Lexington through Wednesday.
