The American Association of Swine Veterinarians invites submissions for the Industrial Partners oral and poster sessions at the 52nd AASV Annual Meeting. This is an opportunity for commercial companies to make brief presentations of a technical, educational nature to members of the AASV. If COVID-19 regulations allow, the conference will be held February 27 – March 2, 2021 in San Francisco, California. If it is not possible to hold an in-person meeting, the program will be conducted virtually on the same dates. Your submission of a topic for presentation confirms your intention to participate in the meeting regardless of presentation format. Submissions are due October 1.
The oral sessions consist of a series of 15-minute presentations scheduled from 1:00 to 5:00 pm on Sunday afternoon, February 28th. A poster session takes place 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.
SUBMISSION PREREQUISITE: All companies submitting topics for presentation during the Industrial Partners sessions must register to participate in the AASV Technical Tables Exhibit before October 1st.
Restricted program space necessitates a limit on the number of presentations per company. Companies that are a member of the Journal of Swine Health & Production Industry Support Council and sponsor the AASV e-Letter may submit three topics for oral presentation. Companies that are either a member of the JSHAP Industry Support Council or sponsor the AASV e-Letter may submit up to two topics. All other companies may submit one topic for oral presentation. In addition, every company may submit one topic for poster presentation, but the topic must not duplicate the oral presentation. All topics must represent information not previously presented at the AASV annual meeting or published in the meeting proceedings.
To participate, send the following information to aasv@aasv.org by October 1, 2020:
- Company name
- Presentation title
- Brief description of the presentation content
- Presenter name and contact details (mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address)
- Whether the submission is intended for oral or poster presentation
Receipt of submissions will be confirmed by email. Presenters will be notified of their acceptance by October 15 and must submit a paper by November 12 for publication in the meeting proceedings. Failure to submit the paper in a timely manner will jeopardize the company’s future participation in these sessions.
All presenters are required to register for the meeting, either as a Tech Table representative, or as an individual registrant (nonmember oral and poster presenters are eligible to register at the AASV regular member rate). AASV does not provide a speaking stipend or travel reimbursement to Industrial Partners presenters.
