We are pleased to announce the Call for Papers for the 2011 ARAV Annual Conference with the Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV), and the Association of Exotic Mammal Veterinarians (AEMV) in Seattle, Washington, USA. The conference is scheduled for August6-12, 2011, at the Sheraton Hotel, Seattle, Washington. This year marks the second opportunity for you to get all your pet exotics CE at a scientific conference in one location. The location of the conference in downtown Seattle, is one that all should enjoy. Restaurants, and attractions are great, and transportation throughout the city is easy. Our conference theme for 2011 is Reach New Heights As the field of reptile/amphibian, avian, and exotic mammal medicine and surgery continues to expand, all of our combined associations hope to provide you with the knowledge and the fun that will make this the best conference you have ever attended! The program format this year will contain cutting edge herptile, avian, and small mammal lectures, as well as Master Classes, and the popular all species roundtables. There will also be Wetlabs and Workshops presented over two days on topics all can use and will enjoy. We have attempted to stagger these, so as not to interfere with the other associations activities, so you can enjoy as many as you wish, and not miss any! Those of you who have not presented in the past, especially veterinary technicians, should consider submitting a paper for 2011. We encourage submissions of reptile/amphibian subjects for the technician sessions, research, diagnostics, case reports, and knowledge reviews.
