The USAHA / AAVLD Annual Meeting in Madison, Wisconsin, will bring together leaders from across the veterinary diagnostic, regulatory, academic, and animal health communities for a week of collaboration, scientific exchange, and strategic dialogue. As one of the most significant national gatherings in animal health, this joint meeting provides a unique forum where diagnosticians, federal and state officials, industry partners, and researchers work side by side to address emerging challenges and strengthen the nation’s animal health infrastructure.

Attendees can expect a robust scientific program featuring plenary presentations, symposia, and concurrent sessions highlighting advances in diagnostics, epidemiology, pathology, molecular technologies, and laboratory operations. Committee meetings across both organizations will support critical policy development, technical guidance, and coordinated national approaches to disease surveillance, response, and laboratory network preparedness. The meeting also offers dedicated opportunities for professional development, student engagement, and recognition of excellence through awards and special events.

Beyond the scientific and policy content, the Madison meeting fosters meaningful networking—strengthening partnerships essential to effective animal health protection. Exhibitors and sponsors will showcase innovative tools, technologies, and services that support laboratory efficiency, diagnostic accuracy, and field‑to‑lab connectivity.

As always, AAVLD and USAHA remain committed to providing an environment that encourages open dialogue, shared expertise, and forward‑looking solutions. The Madison Annual Meeting continues this tradition, serving as a cornerstone event that advances veterinary diagnostics, safeguards animal agriculture, and supports One Health priorities nationwide.
