Based on the current listings on poultryscience.org, the main events are the PSA Annual Meeting, the PSA Latin American Scientific Conference, and the PSA Pacific Rim Conference. If you are planning to attend or submit research, the site's Events section and each conference page are the places to confirm details, since some dates and venues are still being finalized.

How to plan your attendance or submission

  1. Go to poultryscience.org and open the Events section (Meetings & Conferences).
  2. Select the specific conference page for the event you are targeting.
  3. Check the listed dates, venue, and any submission deadlines — for example, the 2027 Annual Meeting symposia deadline is September 23, 2026.
