Novus International will host more than 500 people from more than 30 countries this week at its Global Headquarters facility in Missouri Research Park for the celebration of its 20^th Anniversary.

Customers, partners and friends of Novus will join together to enjoy a celebration ceremony featuring leaders from government and the agriculture industry.

The event will feature Gov. Jay Nixon, Dr. William Danforth, Novus CEO Thad Simons and 30 international animal agriculture experts from as far away as Russia, China, and Japan.

The experts are gathering on Wednesday for an Innovation Roundtable to discuss global agriculture issues (like feeding the world’s projected 10 billion people in 2050) and on Thursday to celebrate Novus International’s 20th year as a major player in the global agriculture space.
