NAPRRS/NC229 ICSVD was originally formed in 2003 as the International PRRS Symposium. It provides a forum for bringing together the members of swine disease community from all over the world. The 22nd annual meeting will be a two-day international conference held in Chicago, USA. Tentative plans include six plenary scientific sessions starting on Friday morning (January 16), a translational workshop co-organized with the Swine Health Information Center, a special lunch sessions sponsored by industry partners, a poster session and NC229 business meeting to discuss the latest research and explore collaborative relationships for new research initiatives. Saturday evening (January 17) will feature a banquet with keynote speakers and award ceremony.
To enhance communication and collaboration with professionals in different animal health areas, the 22nd ICSVD will be in connection with the Conference of Research Workers in Animal Diseases (CRWAD; January 17-20, 2026).
The executive directorship, organizing committee, and conference staff hope that the NAPRRS/NC229 ICSVD will provide all attendees with an informative and scientifically rewarding experience.
