The Northeastern Veterinary Conference (NEVPC) is an opportunity for the veterinary pathology community of the Northeast United States to come together and share interesting cases and experiences, and provides an excellent venue for seasoned professionals to interface with anatomic pathology trainees. Veterinary pathologists and trainees from pharmaceutical and biomedical industries, diagnostic laboratories, government, and academia are invited to deliver informative case presentations. Cases include classic diseases, surgical biopsies, tissues with interesting pathogeneses, or emerging diseases. Presentations last approximately 10 minutes with 3-5 minutes for questions and answers. The optional gross photo review will take place in an informal setting on Sunday afternoon. Images submitted by participants will be displayed and morphologic diagnoses, etiologies and pathogeneses will be discussed.
The 2008 keynote speaker is:
Dr. Kurt Williams
Assistant Professor, Diplomat ACVP
DVM, Michigan State University

He will be speaking on his area of research in the field of pulmonary pathology. The title of the talk is to be announced.
Many opportunities exist for socializing and networking. There is a social hour providing time to visit with old colleagues and meet new ones after the Saturday afternoon session. This is followed by an evening dinner buffet in the hotel banquet facility. The meeting has been traditionally held in Cobleskill, NY but this year will be held in Saratoga Springs, NY.
Thanks this year to Biogen Idec for sponsoring the conference dinner!We would also like to thank Charles River Laboratories for sponsoring the break sessions this year!
Registration and case submissions must be received by August 22, 2008.
