In the next few months we have seven globally important conferences, and in the first six months of next year, another three have been scheduled – see below.
It is such a pity when two major conferences clash or overlap. However, on the positive side, it shows that swine research is very much alive and active, on a national, regional and international basis.
How can we overcome the double booking or overcrowding of important conferences? Could we set up a dedicated webpage or website, so that conference secretaries could put on their dates and contact details and thus try to avoid these problems in the future?
