Scheduled to take place at the Gaylord Rockies Resort & Convention Center Hotel in Aurora, Colorado, from October 30th to November 5th, this meeting will gather experts and stakeholders from various sectors to discuss the latest issues in animal health, disease eradication, and control. Attendees can look forward to a comprehensive program that includes plenary sessions, concurrent scientific sessions, and opportunities for networking with federal and state animal health officials, laboratory directors, industry representatives, diagnosticians, and researchers. The preliminary program schedule indicates that Saturday's Plenary Session will run from 8:00 AM to 11:30 AM, followed by concurrent scientific sessions in the afternoon. Sunday's sessions will continue the discourse with a morning schedule from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM.
