Upcoming Events

The 2025 meeting will address DNA sequence variation and its role in molecular evolution, population genetics, complex diseases, comparative genomics, large-scale studies of gene and protein expression, and genomic approaches to ecological systems. Both technologies and applications will be emphasized. In addition, there will be a special session on the ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genome research.

USPOULTRY’s 2025 Poultry Processor Workshop agenda is sure to give plant personnel the necessary tools to keep you and your operation running efficiently and effectively! Advancement and change continue at a rapid pace in today’s poultry industry

The 2025 Annual Meeting will take place at the Diplomat Beach Resort in Hollywood, Florida . When not in sessions, you are just steps away from soaking up the breezy South Florida lifestyle at the lagoon pool with ocean views or the alabaster beach.

The PSA Annual Meeting offers attendees exposure to the latest science and research within the poultry science field. With presentations from industry and academia, this conference offers a variety of information and opportunities to all poultry scientists.

The 40th International Society for Animal Genetics Conference will be held in Daejeon, South Korea. It will be an excellent opportunity to bring together outstanding scientists, policy makers, professionals and students from interdisciplinary animal genetics fields to share the latest developments, meet old friends and form new partnerships.

Highlights: - Educational Sessions: Broiler, breeder, hatchery, turkey, layers and feed mill. - Networking Opportunities: Connect with peers and industry leaders. - Exhibit Hall: Discover the latest products and services offered by over 100 vendors.

Why Attend: - Gain cutting-edge insights and practical information. - Network with professionals and build valuable connections. - Explore new technologies and solutions.

The Plant & Animal Genome Conference / PAG 33 is designed to provide a forum on recent developments and future plans for plant & animal genome projects. Consisting of technical presentations, poster sessions, exhibits and workshops, the conference is an excellent opportunity to exchange ideas and applications on this internationally important project.

There will be approximately 200 Workshops, 2,500 Abstracts, 1,200 Posters & 130+ Exhibiting Companies ... as well as social and networking opportunities. All in a relaxed and informal setting.

This is the premier conference for researchers and professionals involved in genetic improvement of livestock. Delegates from around the world gather every four years to attend the scientific program and to network with colleagues. This builds on previous successful congresses in Madrid (Spain, 1974 and 1982), Lincoln (USA, 1986), Edinburgh (UK, 1990), Guelph (Canada, 1994), Armidale (Australia, 1998), Montpellier (France, 2002), Belo Horizonte (Brazil, 2006), Leipzig (Germany, 2010), Vancouver (Canada, 2014), Auckland (New Zealand, 2018), and Rotterdam (The Netherlands, 2022).

The 2026 WCGALP will be co-costed by Iowa State University, University of California-Davis and University of Wisconsin- Madison.
