| The North American Veterinary Conference was held in Orlando Florida Jan 17-21 2009. It is one of the largest veterinary conferences in North America. There were veterinarians and support staff from all over the world. There were many wetlabs, masterclasses and lectures dedicated to a variety of topics. It was held at the Marriott Orlando World Center, and the Gaylord Palms convention center, between the two resorts there were lectures and exhibit halls. The opening ceromonies was sponsored by Hills and presented Bill Engvall(we were too tired to attend). Bayer also hosted a concert of Jim Belushi(which we did attend) and his blues band the Sacred Hearts. They were rocking! Once again all of us brought back vast amounts of new knowledge, and up to date procedures and equipment.Wr luckily flew in early and had a day to spare, so we decided to go to the Orlando Seaworld. The weather was not very co-operative as Florida was getting a cold snap that week. We ended the week with a dinner and enetertainment provided by Novartis |
