The Allen D. Leman Swine Conference, an annual educational event for the global swine industry, is set for September 19 – 22, 2026, at the RiverCentre in St. Paul, Minnesota. Swine veterinarians, pork producers, and other stakeholders attend the annual meeting to learn about the latest information and research outcomes in swine production, biosecurity, and animal health management. The Swine Health Information Center, a Leman Conference Program Partner, will again be actively engaged in the meeting through an informational display at booth #25 near the registration desk as well as the support of researchers presenting their SHIC-funded projects during the Conference. In addition, Drs. Megan Niederwerder and Lisa Becton will each chair different breakout sessions sponsored by SHIC.
On Monday, September 21, from 1:30 – 3:00 p.m., Dr. Niederwerder will chair a session titled, Practical applications of on-farm biosecurity research, including one SHIC-sponsored presentation.

Coordinated communication and broad dissemination of swine health information is one of SHIC’s main priorities. Working with the Leman Conference team offers the opportunity to expand SHIC’s reach by sharing outcomes from work conducted because of the Center’s research priorities. In addition to the sponsorship and chairing sessions, SHIC’s display table provides the opportunity to offer information and connect with Conference participants. All these efforts directly support the SHIC mission to share swine health information broadly across the industry.
