The American Association of Swine Veterinarians invites submissions for the Industrial Partners portion of the 40th AASV Annual Meeting, to be held March 7-10, 2009, in Dallas, Texas. This is an opportunity for commercial companies to make brief presentations of a technical, educational nature to members of the AASV.
As in the past, the oral sessions will consist of a series of 15-minute presentations scheduled from 1:00 to 5:30 pm on Sunday afternoon, March 8. A poster session will take place on the same day. Poster authors will be required to be stationed with their poster from 12:00 noon until 1:00 pm, and the posters will remain on display throughout the afternoon and the following day for viewing by meeting attendees. All presentations – oral and poster – will be published in the proceedings of the meeting.
Restricted program space necessitates a limit on the number of presentations per company. Companies that are members of the Journal of Swine Health and Production Industry Support Council (listed here) may submit two topics for oral presentation. All other companies may submit one topic for oral presentation. Each company may submit one additional topic for poster presentation. All topics must represent information not previously presented at the AASV annual meeting or published in the meeting proceedings.
Topic titles, a brief description or abstract of the presentation content, and presenter information (name, address, telephone and fax numbers, email address) must be received in the AASV office by October 1, 2008. Please identify whether the submission is intended for oral or poster presentation. Send to: Commercial Sessions, AASV, 902 1st Avenue, Perry, Iowa, 50220; Fax: (515) 465-3832; E-mail: aasv@aasv.org.
Authors will be notified of their acceptance by October 15, 2008, and must submit the complete paper for publication in the meeting proceedings by November 17, 2008. Companies failing to submit papers in a timely manner will not be eligible for future participation in these sessions.
