Science and Excellence in Swine Production – IPVS Cancun 2014

It is with great pleasure that the organizing committee of the 23rd International Pig Veterinary Society Congress 2014 (IPVS 2014) invites you to participate in our meeting that will be held from June 8-11, 2014 in Cancun, Mexico.

Cancun is a tropical paradise that encompasses top class hotels and resorts, golf courses and many cultural attractions, as well as an international airport with direct flights from Europe, North and South America at very accessible rates. We have selected both a state of art congress venue that offers all the necessary infrastructure for a meeting of this relevance, as well as a very experienced team of experts to support us in the organization of IPVS 2014 so we accomplish our most important objective: a successful scientific event in a very relaxing and friendly environment.

In order to maintain the high scientific standard of IPVS the organizing committee has already started to integrate a premium panel of international and national swine experts into its scientific committee. Thus, allowing participants to acquire new and relevant information related to swine health, reproduction, nutrition, management, environment, welfare and other fields of interest.

Finally, our social program is organized to strengthen networking among our fellow colleagues in an atmosphere of traditional and cultural activities. This wonderful setting is surrounded by mangroves, reefs, tropical rainforest, cenotes, white sand beaches and colossal pyramids such a Chichen Itza, one of the Modern Seven Wonders of the World. Consequently, for all the members of the organizing committee, and the entire Mexican contingency, it will be a great honor and a pleasure to share with you our traditional hospitality in this breathtaking location, the Mexican Caribbean and the Mayan Kingdom.
