Special Sessions
The Annual Meeting Board (AMB) seeks to accept sessions into the meeting program that are timely, well-thought-out, and will bring value to the association and the membership. Creativity in session design is encouraged; interactive learning experiences lead to attendees who leave sessions with applicable ideas and valuable knowledge. In curating the program content, the AMB works to ensure a large variety of topic offerings – no two accepted sessions will cover the same topic area. There are limited programming slots available for submitted sessions; typically, about a third of the submitted sessions are accepted. All sessions are 75 minutes in length.
The AMB is seeking session topics that fall under particular focus areas supporting the 2025 meeting theme. The team is looking to build the program with these particular focus areas, however if your topic does not fit within one of the buckets below, it will still be considered for 2025 – it is not a requirement, only encouraged, that sessions fall within these focus areas.
2025 Focus Areas
- Global Spread of Disease
- Strengthening Diagnostics
- Genetics and Resistance Management Across Geographies
- Breeding and Host Resistance
- Culture, Communications and Global Connections
