This just in - Our 2019 Symposium has been approved by the AAVSB’s Registry of Approved Continuing Education for 14.5 CE Credit Hours.

New this year, we will be holding our planning meeting before the AABP Annual Conference.  

1. Since we will NOT be holding a planning meeting in Phoenix on Friday morning during the conference, you will be free to do something else and not be late for morning sessions.
2. But wait, what if you have ideas to share for next year's symposium? Send them to us at [email protected] before our planning meeting on Sep 5th.

Below are individually linked files for each of the speakers' presentations.
