The 2024 Badger Swine Symposium will again be part of the 2024 Wisconsin Corn Soy Expo at the Kalahari Conference Center in the Wisconsin Dells. After combining these two events last year, Wisconsin swine producers had the opportunity to attend this premier grower event, the Wisconsin Pork Association annual meeting, and learn the latest in pork industry research and news all at one event. Feedback from swine enthusiasts throughout the state was overwhelmingly positive.

The trade show hosts over 120 companies in 155 booths. The two-day robust educational program is filled with informative sessions led by university and industry specialists. This year’s Expo will be held February 1-2, 2024, at the Kalahari Conference Center in Wisconsin Dells. Register at cornsoyexpo.org
