The Meetings Committee of WAVMA is pleased to announce the Members’ Networking Dinner Meeting will be held on Monday, July 22, 2013, from 6:30-10:00 PM in conjunction with the 2013 American Veterinary Medical Association Convention. The AVMA Convention is always one of the best attended veterinary conferences in the USA. This year will be no exception. Many WAVMA members will be on hand as we are planning, in collaboration with the AVMA Aquatic Veterinary Committee, a full 5-day program of both introductory and advanced lectures, as well as for the first time, a fish medicine wet lab to be held at the Shedd Aquarium.
The WAVMA reception will be located in the Hyatt Regency Chicago Hotel, 151 East Wacker Drive, Chicago, IL 60601. We will be meeting in the Wrigley Room, on the Bronze Level of the West Tower. A wonderful array of tasty foods has been ordered for our enjoyment, along with a great opportunity to meet old and new friends and members of our Executive Board. Members and their guests are invited to attend. As seating is limited, please contact the Meetings Committee Chair.
For those members who are unable to attend this Chicago meeting, we will also be the voice of aquatic veterinary medicine at the upcoming 2013 World Veterinary Congress, to be held in Prague, Czech Republic from Sept. 17-20. We will be responsible for 2 days of veterinary continuing education. We are planning our 2013 Annual General Meeting at a dinner reception to be held at a local venue. More information will be coming in the next few weeks, so watch for the announcement as the details are ironed out. This will be an ideal opportunity for all our European members to meet with other members. Plan to attend if you can.
