16th ESVOT Congress 2012 Bologna (Italy) - September 12th - 15th, 2012

Welcome to the 16th ESVOT Congress by the ESVOT President Dear Colleagues, Dear Friends It is a great pleasure for me to cordially invite you to the upcoming ESVOT Meeting in Bologna.

Again we were able to put together an exciting scientific program.

It is our goal to present to you not only state of the art lectures and excellent overviews on current techniques, but also the latest developments in the field of veterinary orthopedics.

The meeting will start with our popular pre-congress seminars and courses. We start Wednesday with a 2-day dry lab on “Locking Systems for Internal Fixation” where you have the unique chance to test and compare the most popular locking systems next to each other. Thursday you can choose between a dry lab on the latest “Synthes Mini-Fragment LCP’s for Trauma and Orthopedics in cats and small breed dogs”, a TTA master course and Seminars on important topics such as “Osteoarthritis” as well as “Canine Rehabilitation for the Orthopedic Surgeon”.

The official program starts Thursday afternoon with the first state of the art lecture. In the following two days you will have the opportunity to choose among the main program and smaller in depth seminars. So hopefully you will be able to find throughout the meeting plenty topics that you are particularly interested in.

Again we were able to invite world-renowned speakers, which gives you a unique opportunity to meet them and hopefully get in contact with one or the other.

The international exchange makes this meeting so special.

Apart of offering an outstanding scientific program, visiting Bologna is another convincing reason to come to our meeting. If indeed there is nothing in the scientific program that keeps you in the darkness of the lecture rooms, there is plenty of sightseeing in the historic town of Bologna.

Beside its history, it is famous for its fine dining. Many special meals originate from here such as the Tortellini, Lasagne, Pasta al Ragu Bolognese, Mortadella and much more.

The program will end with our traditional Banquet Saturday evening in downtown Bologna with good food and a lot of fun.

This exciting Meeting would not have been made possible with the joint efforts of my colleagues in the board, the great help of EMOVA and of course all our sponsors, that contributed a significant financial support for this event.

Come and join us - I’m looking forward to meet you in Bologna!
