Student Information
Students have been an integral part of the syposium for many years now. They are allowed to attend without charge. Part of the charge for all members to attend includes money to cover student attendance. Students receive the proceedings book as well as all meals and breaks. Students take part in the meeting just like any other member. For people in the job market, this can be great exposure to employers and future associates.
There is a cost for all the meals and breaks and the proceedings, so we ask for a deposit from each student that says they will be attending. The deposit is $50. While students may register online, we do not accept Paypal for the deposit. There are charges for accepting Paypal, and what we do is return the deposit to students at the meeting when they attend. If you register online as a student, you can print a registration form to mail in with your check. The check will be returned at the symposium. If you say you are coming and we hold the spot and then you do not come, your check will be deposited. Otherwise, you get the same check back.
The Embassy Suites is the symposium hotel. The suites for $116 per night accept 4 people per room including a full breakfast. That makes the rate very low per person. If you prefer to stay elsewhere, you can Google hotels in the area. There are lots of hotels near the Embassy Suites. Staying at the Embassy Suites helps us make sure we have enough rooms in our group that we get the meeting room free.
If you have more questions, click on the Request Information and send the Symposium co-ordinators an email. The Symposium Co-Chairs are Mark Thomas and Chris Cripps. Roger Saltman is the treasurer. There are numerous others that help organize parts of the conference. We meet at AABP to start making the agenda. We then go to make our contacts to set things up. We communicate via email to make the final arrangements for the Symposium.
Thanks for considering the Northeast Dairy Production Medicine Symposium!
