Never Settled.

It’s more than the theme of this year’s Annual Swine Conference.

It’s a mindset.

Never satisfied with where we are today. Never afraid to challenge the way things have always been done. Never done learning, leading or finding a better way forward.

This was made possible by United Animal Health, our 2026 Video Sponsor and the first partner to step into this new sponsorship opportunity.

United Animal Health believed in our vision to capture more than a conference. To capture the people, the thinking and the drive behind an industry that refuses to stand still.

This is Never Settled.

What a day!

The 36th Annual Swine Conference is officially in the books, and we couldn’t be more grateful for everyone who joined us in Quincy.

This year’s theme, Never Settled, represents so much of what we see every day in the pork industry: people who keep asking questions, sharing ideas, learning from one another and looking for ways to get better.

Thank you to our speakers for taking the time to share your knowledge and experiences with us. Thank you to our sponsors and exhibitors for your continued support and partnership. And most importantly, thank you to every attendee who showed up ready to learn, connect and be part of the conversation.

Days like today remind us just how special this industry and the people in it truly are.
We hope you left Quincy with a new idea, a new connection or something that challenged you to think a little differently.

Thank you for making the 36th Annual Swine Conference one to remember. We’ll see you next year!

What a GREAT way to kick off conference. With The Official Monday Night Social!

A HUGE thank you to the Illinois Pork Producers Association for sponsoring tonight’s Official Monday Night Social, Merck Animal Health for sponsoring the bar and AB Vista for sponsoring dessert!

We’re also incredibly grateful for all of our booth exhibitors who help make this event possible.

We hope everyone made their way through the exhibit area tonight, where you’d find food stations located at our Premium Booths.

We hope you grabbed a bite, met our exhibitors and connected with the industry partners who continue to support our conference and the pork industry.

We appreciate each of you and are excited to kick off the 2026 Annual Swine Conference together!

We’ll see everyone bright and early tomorrow morning as we discuss how this industry continues to Never Settle.

We’re grateful to United Animal Health for investing in this new sponsorship opportunity and helping us capture what it means to be Never Settled.

The pork industry has spent decades getting better at almost everything we can measure. But what about the one competitive advantage we can’t install?

Genetics can be purchased. Technology can be installed. Facilities can be upgraded.

People are different.

Great managers, trusted leaders, strong teams and culture are built over time — and they may be among the greatest competitive advantages in pork production.

That’s the idea behind Never Settled and a conversation that belongs at the 36th Annual Carthage Veterinary Service, LTD on September 1.

Competitors can buy the same technology. They can’t buy your people or your culture.

Our team was serving up pork and supporting Illinois agriculture at the Illinois State Fair!

A big thank you to our volunteers who spent the day working the Illinois Pork Producers Association Pork Patio.

We’re proud to support Illinois pork producers and help serve fair favorites along the way!

If you find yourself at the fair, be sure to stop by the Pork Patio and grab some delicious Illinois pork!
