Connecting in New Orleans

 

Veterinarians contributed to a community, learned about medical and professional issues, and enjoyed themselves all at once this year at the 145th AVMA Annual Convention, July 19-22 in New Orleans.

Attendees assisted in the area’s ongoing recovery from Hurricane Katrina through their tourist dollars and volunteer work. They participated in hundreds of continuing education sessions within dozens of concurrent tracks. They enjoyed special events at the convention center and headquarters hotel as well as numerous attractions in the surrounding neighborhoods, including the restaurants of the historic French Quarter.

“From the Opening Session to the Final Fling, there was something for everyone,” said Dr. Gregory S. Hammer, AVMA immediate past president. “We had an outstanding group of speakers that provided every attendee something to take home and use immediately. New Orleans gave us great entertainment, superb dining, and friendly, genuine hospitality.”
