Dear VCS members and the Veterinary Oncology Community,
After hosting our first Annual Conference in person in Norfolk, Virginia after two years of virtual, I am extremely excited about continuing the connections and collaborations at our 2023 Annual Conference in Reno, Nevada from October 12-14, 2023, at the beautiful Peppermill Resort.
Following the traditions of previous in-person meetings, as well as results of the most recent conference evaluation, we will provide you with the opportunity to learn about the latest clinical advances and practical aspects of clinical oncology by bringing back the panel discussions in 2023 that will include discussions on clinical trials and building successful training programs. In addition, there will be four focused specialty sessions including radiation oncology, electrochemotherapy, immunotherapy, and feline oncology. We are listening to your feedback and are finalizing keynote speakers that will best fit with our conference.
The conference program will also offer a variety of lectures, abstracts and poster session. We will begin with the conference on Thursday morning with the Resident Review Workshop, as well as an intriguing concurrent Workshop that our attendees will be interested in, and will end with another great social event at the National Automobile Museum which is simply amazing, EVEN if you aren’t a “car” person. Please keep checking the website for additional details as they become available.
