Ontario's Premier Swine Event
Copyright © 2024 Ontario Swine Conference. All rights reserved.
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.
Be sure to visit the Research Poster Session located in the Windsor Room, featuring innovative swine research on display both days of the conference.
Join us at the Tuesday reception from 4:30–6:00 pm to meet the authors, ask questions, and gain deeper insights into their work. During the reception, you can also cast your vote for the People’s Choice award, celebrating your favourite poster(s). Enjoy a relaxed networking atmosphere with refreshments from an artisan coffee bar sponsored by Molesworth Farm Supply.
Join us for the Emerging Scholars Competition, sponsored by Masterfeeds and Floradale Feed Mill, where four student researchers that have been selected as finalists from submitted research poster abstracts will deliver oral presentations on their work. Each finalist has been chosen for the excellence and relevance of their work. In this session, speakers will share insights and findings that highlight innovative approaches and contributions to their field. The presentations promise both academic depth and practical perspectives, engaging industry professionals and fellow scholars alike. We hope you can join us in celebrating our emerging scholars. This session is an inspiring platform for scholar development, networking and collaborative discussion. Awards will be announced at the Industry Gala beginning at 6:00PM on Tuesday evening.
