7th International Symposium on
Beef Cattle Welfare
Bridging Research and Practice for the Future of Beef Cattle Welfare
The International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare, founded by a cooperating team of U.S. and Canadian animal scientists and
veterinarians, is a biennial event hosted in rotation by partner institutions in both countries.
Join us June 1-3, 2026, for the first in-person symposium since 2018.
See you in Lincoln!
We’re thrilled to announce that the International Symposium on Beef Cattle Welfare is back and will convene from June 1-3, 2026, at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln.
After taking time to navigate funding uncertainties and global travel challenges, we’re excited to move forward with renewed energy and commitment. Our team has been working diligently behind the scenes to ensure a meaningful, engaging, and impactful event for our entire community.
We look forward to welcoming colleagues, collaborators, and friends from across the globe to reconnect, share research, and advance beef cattle welfare together.
Thank you for your patience and continued support. We can’t wait to welcome you in 2026 and gather again in person. More details are coming soon!
