Innovation and high-quality content are key when it comes to hosting a conference on the swine industry. That is exactly what Wisenetix has accomplished with the third edition of SwineTalks, a web conference for professionals in the swine industry.
SwineTalks is an annual web conference that aims at creating a positive impact on the global swine industry. With its fast-paced and engaging TED Talks style, the event hosts talks in three different languages – English, Portuguese, and Spanish – and has reached over 85 countries this year. The talks range from on-farm issues, cutting-edge swine health research, and novel production approaches to innovative technology and digital solutions – even motivational talks were on the schedule!
But there is more: the company innovated this year not only by changing its name (it was formerly known as Swine it), but also by holding the event in a rather unconventional way… SwineTalks 2022 was held on the metaverse.
The metaverse is an online platform where the attendees of the event can create their own personalized avatars, walk around digital rooms and offices, and interact in real-time with the other participants via chat or by opening their microphones and cameras. A completely digital conference room (like a vintage, cool video game) that allowed for a different, exciting experience – and a great opportunity for the professionals to expand their network.
This year’s edition has just been wrapped up: it took place on Nov. 9 and 10, and it had the participation of over 60 speakers and more than 1,000 subscribers – it is safe to say it has fulfilled its promise to ”promote a real revolution” in the mindset of the subscribers. If you have missed it, you can subscribe for next year’s, which is already being planned, and access the company’s content through Swine it+ and its many podcasts.
