The International PRRS Symposium is an annual public meeting held immediately prior to the Conference of Research Workers in Animal Diseases (CRWAD) and hosted by the PRRS Coordinated Agricultural Project (CAP), National Pork Board and NC-229 Respiratory Diseases Committee.

The 2011 International PRRS Symposium will be held in Chicago, IL, on Friday, December 2, 2011 and Saturday, December 3, 2011. Both CRWAD and the PRRS Symposium will be held at the Downtown Chicago Marriott, Chicago, IL. Lodging information can be found on the CRWAD website (Marriot Room Reservation).

YOU ARE INVITED!

Porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome (PRRS) is the most economically significant disease of swine in the U.S. This meeting brings together an international group involved in all aspects of PRRS research; researchers, students, swine health specialists, and pork producers interested in PRRS virus research are all invited to attend. A broad range of topics - from field studies to highly technical investigations - will be discussed.

Due to the rising costs of hosting a meeting, there will be a registration fee of $75 this year for non-students.  Registration and abstract submissions are now open!
