AVBC engages in direct dialogue with the USDA CVB on current and emerging key issues in veterinary biologics through its bi-annual meeting program.
The AVBC’s next meeting will be on 29-30 October 2024 in Ames, Iowa, and is attended by AVBC member firms and representatives from the USDA CVB. This is a great opportunity for members to network with industry peers, USDA CVB regulators, and other important stakeholders in the veterinary biologics community on matters of immediate and critical regulatory and scientific importance. This year’s meeting will include a presentation from Dr. Mark Mamula (Yale University) on his research in canine cancer therapies, and a presentation from Dr. Bailey Arruda (USDA) on influenza. If you are interested in learning more about AVBC membership or joining the AVBC meeting as an invited guest, please contact the AVBC Secretariat.
“AVBC meetings are geared to encourage participation by all members and government officials are always welcome.
AVBC advocates for its membership through formal and informal statements on policy proposals and through meetings and other discussions with government officials – and with allies and adversaries in other industries.”
Additional meetings may be held in conjunction with other industry-related conferences, such as the U.S. Animal Health Association meeting and the CVB Public Meeting.
