If you’ve been looking for an opportunity to build your career, deepen your knowledge of animal health or just experience new perspectives, attending Animal Health: Regulatory Affairs could be the perfect move.
“The K-State Olathe Animal Health Conference has the powerful combination of being a great learning event that provides practical knowledge, as well as a setting to get to network with industry leaders from across animal health,” said Brent Mayabb, a speaker at this year’s event. “There will be something for people at all stages and levels of their career. – I can’t wait to attend.”
No matter what your background in animal health might be, here are three reasons that we hope to see you in Olathe this September.
Attending a professional conference offers you the chance to gain knowledge directly from experts, and this year’s Animal Health Regulatory Affairs Conference is no exception. You’ll have the chance to hear from professionals in pharmaceuticals, biologics and nutrition. Not only will you attend panels and presentations about each of these topics, but you’ll have opportunities to ask questions directly to experts, as well as gain practical knowledge from their lived experiences.
“This annual event is one of the best networking and learning experiences I have had in several years,” said Rob Hunter, M.S., Ph.D., of One Medicine Consulting. “Engaging with the Animal Health Regulatory community has been rewarding and productive every time we get together.”
This year’s conference will highlight a variety of important topics in the animal health realm. In fact, you’ll have the chance to choose from one of three specific tracks. Each of our tracks is designed to offer you space where you can dig deeper into issues that impact you on the job, as well as provide you with opportunities to expand your knowledge – especially if you’re considering ways to push your career forward.
Topics this year include, "Navigating and Understanding AAFCO," "Import/Export of Nutrition Ingredients with the USDA," "Import/Export of Nutrition Ingredients with the FDA," "NexGen Products," "Licensing New Products through CVB: Continuum of Studies Needed" and more. You also can review the full agenda here.
Of course, one of the biggest reasons to attend a professional conference is that you’ll have the chance to connect professionally with other attendees. During the three-day conference, you’ll go to panels and presentations with the same people. This gives you plenty of opportunities to discuss hot-button topics, pressing issues and chat about working in the field of animal health.
“This Kansas State University Animal Health Conference offers attendees the opportunity to network with colleagues who work in animal health and the people who regulate our industry,” said Norm Brown, who will be hosting a discussion on Monoclonal Antibodies with Jay Peterson from Elanco Animal Health. “If you attend, you will learn how products are registered/licensed by the agencies and how best to keep them on the market.”
