In 2025, the AAVN Clinical Nutrition & Research Symposium will take place on Saturday, June 21 in Louisville, KY.

As many of you know, we have long offered our program the Wednesday before the ACVIM Forum. This new schedule will better align with the changes in nutrition as a specialty under ACVIM and make it easier for many of you to attend both conferences and events. 

In addition, a Saturday offering will allow some of our members and potential future members to attend while taking minimal time away from their workplaces.   We are still planning to hold our AAVN Party – now on Saturday evening - and will be offering a few student programs in the afternoon on Friday, June 20.

A draft schedule is available here

If you have any questions, please be in touch at aavnexecutive@gmail.com

This change coincides with the 25th Anniversary of our Symposium!  We are looking for copies of AAVN Symposium proceedings from 2004-2013, as well as any photographs from the event throughout the years.  Your help is much appreciated!  Please send any materials to aavnexecutive@gmail.com

The 2025 Call for Abstracts is available for review here.  Submissions will be accepted beginning December 1.  The deadline for abstract submission is Friday, February 7, 2025.  

Oral and poster abstract presenters will be announced on March 21.
