AASV Industrial Partners Submissions due Sept 30

The American Association of Swine Veterinarians invites submissions for the Industrial Partners portion of the 48th AASV Annual Meeting, to be held February 25-28, 2017 in Denver, Colorado. 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 5:00 pm on Sunday afternoon, February 26. 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.

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: www.aasv.org/aasv/aasvisc.php) may submit two topics for oral presentation. All other companies may submit one topic for oral presentation. AASV e-Letter sponsors may submit an additional topic for oral presentation. In addition, every company may submit one topic for poster presentation (poster topics must not duplicate oral presentations). All topics must represent information not previously presented at the AASV annual meeting or published in the meeting proceedings.

To participate, send 1) company name, 2) presentation title, 3) a brief description of the presentation content, and 4) contact information for the presenter (name, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address) to AASV by September 30, 2016. Please identify whether the submission is intended for oral or poster presentation. Send submissions to: aasv@aasv.org.

Presenters will be notified of their acceptance by October 14, 2016, and must submit a paper for publication in the meeting proceedings by November 15, 2016. Companies failing to submit papers in a timely manner may not be eligible for future participation in these sessions.

There is no charge for participation in the Industrial Partners sessions, but all presenters are required to register for the meeting (nonmember participants may register at the AASV regular member rate). AASV does not provide a speaking stipend or travel reimbursement to Industrial Partners presenters.
