What can you expect at #PSA2026?

We’re building a program designed for everyone in poultry science—students, researchers, industry professionals, extension specialists, and producers.

At PSA 2026, you can expect a robust mix of programming, including:

  • Oral presentations

  • Scientific symposia

  • Poster sessions

  • Engaging social events to reconnect with colleagues and peers

What topics will be featured?
The scientific program will span the full breadth of poultry science—from live production and health to food safety, nutrition, education, and extension. We’re especially excited to feature interdisciplinary research and forward-thinking approaches that address the evolving needs of our global poultry community.

Have questions about the scientific program?
Reach out to Jenny Paul and our scientific program team will be happy to assist.

(Example: Student Competition: Animal Well-Being and Behavior). Students will then choose Apply for Student Certificate of Excellence under the Awards section. If a student selects Decline, they will not be in the competition.

Please note that while students are welcome to submit multiple abstracts, only one abstract may be entered in the competition.

All authors are expected to attend the 2026 PSA Annual Meeting. Please see the No Show Policy above for additional details.

All presenters who attend and present their abstract at the 2026 PSA Annual Meeting in Toronto, Canada will have their abstract published in an e-suppliment to Poultry Science® in September 2026. Authors who do not present are considered no-shows and will not have their abstracts published. No-shows can also impact a presenter's eligibility to submit abstracts for consideration at future meetings.
