Call for Submissions – Industrial Partners – Due Oct 1

Sep 23, 2025

By Abbey Canon

The American Association of Swine Veterinarians invites submissions for the Industrial Partners oral and poster sessions at the 57th AASV Annual Meeting. This is an opportunity for commercial companies to make brief presentations of a technical, educational nature to meeting attendees. The conference will be held February 28 – March 3, 2026 in Las Vegas, Nevada.

The oral sessions consist of a series of 15-minute presentations scheduled from 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm on Sunday afternoon, March 1. A poster session takes place the same day. Poster authors will be required to be stationed with their poster from noon until 1:00 pm, and the posters will remain on display throughout the afternoon and the following day for viewing.

Submission Prerequisite

All companies submitting topics for presentation during the Industrial Partners sessions must register to participate in the AASV Technical Tables Exhibit before October 1.

Submission Limit

Restricted program space necessitates a limit on the number of presentations per company. Companies that are a member of the Journal of Swine Health and Production Industry Support Council and sponsor the AASV e-Letter may submit three topics for oral presentation. Companies that are either a member of the JSHAP Industry Support Council or sponsor the AASV e-Letter may submit up to two topics. All other companies may submit one topic for oral presentation. In addition, every company may submit one topic for poster presentation, but the topic must not duplicate the oral presentation.

Video: Same Grit, New Name: A Conversation with Ryan Calistro of Bower Ag

Swine Leaders Live, we sit down with Ryan Calistro, President of Bower Ag, to discuss a major brand transition in the ag construction and solutions space—and what it means for swine producers. Bower Ag represents a new, unified identity, bringing together Ag Property Solutions, Dairy Specialists, and The Dairy Solutions Group under one name. But as Ryan explains, this isn’t about change for the sake of change—it’s about strengthening what already works and delivering more value to producers.

We dive into:

• What Bower Ag is and why the transition was made

• What stays the same for longtime customers

• How combining multiple businesses creates new opportunities for producers

• What today’s producers are asking for—and how Bower Ag is responding

• Key insights heading into World Pork Expo

If you’ve worked with APS before—or are evaluating partners for your next project—this conversation provides a clear look at where Bower Ag is headed and how they’re positioning themselves for the future.
