2020 World Pork Expo set for June 3-5

The 2020 World Pork Expo is back at the Iowa State Fairgrounds for its 32nd year. The expo will take place on June 3 to 5, providing pork professionals with three full days of education, innovation and networking.

Out of an abundance of caution, the 2019 World Pork Expo was canceled due to reports of African Swine Fever in China and other countries. Professionals in the pork industry worked together across the globe to understand the situation and evaluate risks presented with ASF.

Since the outbreak of ASF in 2019, the United States has significantly stepped up biosecurity measures taken to prevent an outbreak in the United States. The 2020 Expo will have increased biosecurity on-site during the show. Additional changes to the 2020 World Pork Expo include the decision to relocate the live swine show to reduce an already negligible risk.

Registration will soon be available online for those who plan to attend the 2020 World Pork Expo June 3 to 5.
