Upcoming Events

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.

This conference brings together scientists to discuss progress, problems, policy and potential applications of transgenic and gene editing technology for animal applications. The intended audience for this conference is scientists working in the fields of genetic engineering and gene editing in agricultural and other non-rodent species, federal regulators and livestock producers.

This year will include presentations from Genus plc following the recent successful FDA-approval of their gene edited PRRS-virus resistant pigs application, and presentations from Colossal on their work with the Dire wolf and other de-extinction projects.

Students are encouraged to submit a poster abstract by July 18, 2025 to be eligible for the John Clark Student Poster Award, sponsored by the Roslin Institute. Recipients will be chosen based on abstract submission.

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.
