Grandin will speak about her own experience with autism and present two sessions, where she focuses on humane and effective livestock handling.
Her ground-breaking achievements in livestock handling and facility design have been attributed to her unique, visual way of processing information.
Grandin is also an accomplished author of books such as The Way I See It and Thinking In Pictures.
The Maritime Beef Conference takes place on March 16 and 17.
