Join us at the 31st Annual Association of Avian Veterinarians Conference & Expo along with the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians Annual Conference. Once again, the Conference Committees have designed a program that incorporates cutting edge clinical research along with the most practical continuing education information found at any conference. As has been our tradition for the last five years, we have joined forces with the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians to bring you a highly concentrated meeting of exotic animal only information. One conference, one hotel, one plane ride all adds up to a week of fun and learning. All of this plus we will be in one of the top-ten vacation cities in North America!
No city in North America rivals San Diego for fun in the sun! The weather is always perfect and we’ll be staying at the “has to be seen to be believed” Marriott Hotel & Marina! What can you do when you’re not in sessions? There’s the San Diego Zoo and Wild Animal Park, sunbathing and beach combing, kayaking and fishing, PETCO Park, the Gaslamp Quarter and Old Town. Finally, there are the sunsets and the Marriott is in the middle of all of this, sitting right on the Harbor, next to downtown and a 10 minute car ride from the airport. The Marriott Hotel & Marina is discounted to a rate of $177 per night for a single or double room. If you are a student, you receive a discounted hotel rate of only $99 per night for up to four people. Join us at the Kick-Off Event at Sea World and see fireworks at the nighttime Shamu show.
Attend specific sessions or stay the entire week! Registration prices include several different options from which to choose. As we do every year, we are offering a variety of programs, labs, master classes, and evening events—all to bring value to your exotic animal learning experience. Remember, the AAV annual conference is where it all started with exotics pets. We did it right 31 years ago and we are still doing it right!
We look forward to seeing you in beautiful, sunny, warm San Diego!
