The 2022 ADSA Annual Meeting Overall Program Committee and the individual program committees are working on an exciting program that includes novel symposia and workshops. Sessions will include platform sessions, panel discussions, workshops, and other formats, as well as oral presentations by internationally known speakers and traditional poster sessions. The outstanding planning by these committees ensures that this will be a value-packed meeting.

Special efforts are underway to welcome graduate and undergraduate students as well as industry personnel to the 2022 ADSA Annual Meeting. Again in 2022, the meeting concept will include several symposia geared to help all students succeed in various aspects of the animal agriculture industry.

We will be offering poster viewing within our meeting app to allow attendees to view as many posters as possible outside the hours of scheduled poster sessions. Onsite meeting rooms will be equipped with computers, projectors, and preloaded presentations. Presentation files can be uploaded through the abstract system in advance of the meeting or accepted onsite the day before the presentation. More details will be provided closer to the time of abstract acceptance.

Whether or not you decide to submit an abstract, plan now to join us in Kansas City!
