This week, Oklahoma City hosted the 60th American Meat Science Association (AMSA) Reciprocal Meat Conference (RMC). In addition to the Ronald McDonald House pork stick giveback, the Oklahoma Pork Council has found additional ways to support this gathering of 900 meat science professionals, academics and students.

Oklahoma Pork collaborated with the National Pork Board to serve as event sponsors for RMC's week in Oklahoma. Working with Dr. Gretchen Mafi and Dr. Morgan Pfeiffer of Oklahoma State University's Department of Animal and Food Sciences, we provided pork for the Iron Chef Competition and conference meals. A special thank you to our great partner in Ben E. Keith Foods to help hundreds of attendees enjoy Prairie Fresh pork during their stay at the Omni Hotel.

Thanks to the stellar reputation of OKC's new Omni Hotel, our state is "on the map" for a variety of large conferences and association meetings that previously have not occurred in Oklahoma. Cheers to bringing folks to Oklahoma and promoting delicious pork! See more highlights from this week's meat science conference from AMSA, here!
