2011 WAVMA Aquatic Veterinary Program at the World Veterinary Congress
The Venue
Beautiful Cape Town, South Africa is the venue for the 2011 Aquatic Veterinary Program organized by WAVMA as part of, and in conjunction with the 30th World Veterinary Congress.
Held at the world-class Cape Town International Convention Centre, nestled at the foot of Table Mountain, the World Veterinary Congress promises to be the most extensive veterinary clinical and scientific showcase ever offered in Africa. To add to the adventure of the Cape and South Africa, the Aquatic Veterinary Program includes both sessions at the Congress and an on-farm Aquaculture Biosecurity Wet-Lab and Workshop in Franschhoek.
Social programmes for delegates and family members include day trips in and around the breathtaking Cape Peninsula that is flanked by the frigid Atlantic Ocean on the west, and warm Indian Ocean on the east, as well as to world-renowned vineyards. Pre- and post-Congress tours guarantee a taste of the scenic splendour, cultural diversity and unrivalled wildlife heritage that South Africa can offer its visitors. All this, together with 320 days of sunshine per year will have you planning your next African adventure!
The Program
In line with the focus of the 2011 World Veterinary Congress on food production, safety and security, as well as disease control in communities served by the veterinary profession, the Aquatic Veterinary Program offers 4 days of great Continuing Education and Professional Development, including:
- 2-days for General Aquatic Veterinary Sessions of contributed presentations (for veterinarians); and,
- 2-days for a Training Session & Workshop for Veterinary Biosecurity for Aquaculture Operations of didactic / interactive lectures, table-top exercises, and on-farm wet-lab and evaluation (for veterinarians, paraveterinary professionals and aquaculture producers)
Explore the opportunities! Discover Africa and things that amaze everyone – from Aardvarks to Zebras. But above all, participate in an exciting Aquatic Veterinary Program and register early to ensure participation in some participant-limited sessions.
