The Pig Health Society Symposium & Trade Fair is the country’s largest pig event and attracts people from all parts of the industry year after year.

The day is laid out with the sponsor in mind, starting early and with a significant break between talks in the middle of the day to allow the delegates plenty of time to visit stands and mix with sponsors.

All delegates and sponsors are invited to a barbeque pig-on-a-spit, the evening before the conference (Monday night, 13 May) at the Johnstown House Hotel and Spa. A special accommodation rate of €50pps or €79 single has been agreed with the hotel.
