Speakers

International character

We are building the future of the Polish industry together with Europe

The Polish pig production sector has enormous potential. To fully utilize it, we need more than a local perspective. We need knowledge that is already in operation – on farms in Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, and Germany. The 2nd Pig Production Congress is a platform where this knowledge reaches the people who can implement it.

“The Pig Production Congress was created with professional service providers in mind – so that producers, practitioners and business partners could exchange ideas, jointly develop solutions and strengthen the entire enterprise together.”

Karolina Krasicka
CEO of K2 Agro – organizer of the Pig Production Congress
Event location

Żnin Sugar Factory

A historic sugar factory from the early 20th century, transformed into one of the most unique event venues in Poland. Industrial architecture, high ceilings, and warm interiors – the Żnin Sugar Factory is a backdrop that lends the Congress its own character. A place you’ll remember long after you’ve returned home.
