This year, we are delighted to announce opportunities for researchers and students to engage with the swine industry and to participate in the Ontario Swine Conference.
A Research Poster Session will be featured during the duration of the conference where attendees can view the posters at scheduled breaks, lunches and prior to the industry gala.
Four emerging scholars who submitted abstracts to the poster session will be selected to participate in the Emerging Scholar Competition for a grand cash prize of $750.00. See below for more details on the Research Poster Session and Emerging Scholar Competition.
Researchers and students are invited to submit abstracts for poster display by the deadline of 12:00PM ET on Monday, January 13, 2025.
For more information, please view the Research Poster Session – Call for Abstracts.
Here is an example of a research abstract.
Those who are submitting research abstracts to the Research Poster Session, can also enter their abstract for consideration to the Emerging Scholars Competition.
Up to 4 abstracts submitted for the Research Poster Session will be selected by a review committee for oral presentation in the Emerging Scholars Competition taking place on day 1 of the conference.
