Time to Register for PorkBridge and SowBridge Programs

REGISTER NOW for both PorkBridge and SowBridge distance educational programs. These successful distance education programs are scheduled to begin in early February. Register by January 10, 2016 to ensure materials are received for first session.

Both programs provide relevant and accurate information from a variety of university and industry experts. "The easiest part of participating is participants don't have to travel to a central meeting location to attend, they can participate from their break room during lunch," says a 2014 SowBridge participant.

Both programs combine electronic information viewed on a computer with live presentations delivered by teleconference from topic experts. Subscribers receive access to the presentation electronically and at the scheduled time will call-in for the audio portion of each session to follow along with the presentation on their computer.
