This year's conference, slated for Sept. 17-20 at the St. Paul Rivercentre in St. Paul, Minnesota, will feature sessions covering everything from foreign animal disease and biosecurity to Prop 12 and gene editing for porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome.

Keynote topics and speakers for the event:

Breakout session topics include the emerging science of swine worker microbiome, fine-tuning Mycoplasma control and eradication, sow livability, chemical mitigation in feed, actionable monitoring of African swine fever, PRRS, and other diseases and helping labor with innovation and community programs.

Award presentations include:

In 1974, Allen D. Leman, a new University of Minnesota Extension veterinarian, and Jim Hanson, director of the college of veterinary medicine's continuing education program, initiated the conference to present new information and discuss issues important to the swine industry. Leman understood how a university could influence practitioners and empower them to be leaders for the swine industry.

Internationally acclaimed for bringing science-driven solutions to the complex challenges facing the industry, the event today garners hundreds of participants from over 20 countries each year.
