The World Pork Expo (WPX) is more than just a trade show; it’s a vibrant hub where industry professionals, enthusiasts, and innovators converge to celebrate the pork industry. Held on June 5-6, 2024, at the Iowa State Fairgrounds in Des Moines, Iowa, this year’s WPX was a remarkable event that left a lasting impact on attendees from around the world.

The WPX organizers embraced change by introducing a revitalized two-day format. Focused on community, knowledge sharing, and celebrating industry advancements, the Expo provided a dynamic platform for education, innovation, and networking.

The surprise came in the form of an international influx. Visitors from Japan, Europe, Canada, Central and South America, and other remote countries flocked to the Expo with enthusiasm. They were eager to learn, experience our culture, explore our city, and savor our food. The WPX truly transcended borders, fostering connections and friendships across continents.

At the heart of the Expo were essential discussions on animal health, nutrition, and cutting-edge products. With over 700 booths, attendees had access to the latest offerings from the market. From innovative feed solutions to state-of-the-art equipment, the Expo showcased the best of the pork industry.

Industry experts shared their wisdom, shedding light on the latest trends in pork production. Attendees witnessed new technologies in action, from precision farming tools to sustainable practices. The WPX wasn’t just about products; it was about knowledge exchange and staying ahead of the curve.

Networking at the WPX was fulfilling. Peers and industry leaders connected, fostering collaborations that extend beyond borders. These connections open doors for American-made products to reach global markets, reinforcing the Expo’s role as a catalyst for international trade.

After two years of sluggish traffic due to the pandemic, the 2024 WPX exceeded expectations. The visitor count rivaled pre-pandemic times, signaling a resurgence of interest and excitement. Attendees left with a mix of curiosity, appreciation, and renewed passion for the pork industry.

The World Pork Expo remains a beacon of industry excellence—a place where cultures collide, ideas flourish, and the love for pork unites us all. As we reflect on this year’s success, we eagerly await the next WPX, where the world comes together once again.
