World's Poultry Congress
Historically, the World's Poultry Congress was held every three years from 1921 to 1954, except during the years affected by the Second World War. Since 1954, the Congress has been organised on a regular four-year cycle, maintaining its position as the most influential international event in the global poultry calendar.
The 26th World's Poultry Congress was successfully hosted in Paris, France, in 2022, attracting participants from across the globe. The 27th World's Poultry Congress took place from 13–17 July 2026 in Toronto, Canada, bringing together thousands of delegates representing academia, research institutions, government organisations, and the international poultry industry. The 28th World Poultry Congress will be held in Tokyo, Japan, in 2030.
The World's Poultry Congress (WPC) is the world's most prestigious international event dedicated to poultry science, research, and industry development. Organised by the World's Poultry Science Association (WPSA), the Congress serves as a unique global platform where scientists, researchers, academics, industry leaders, policymakers, and poultry professionals come together to exchange knowledge, showcase innovations, and discuss emerging challenges and opportunities in the poultry sector.
