Each year, our Animal Health Conference offers a chance for professionals in the animal health field to come together, dive deep into important topics and develop relationships with industry professionals. 

This year, our conference is expanding and now includes three pathways you can choose from to ensure you’re able to focus on the topics and issues that matter most to you on a professional level: Nutrition, Pharma Regulations and Biologics.

“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 Biologics pathway is designed to provide an in-depth overview of product licensing, leveraging bioassays and regulatory pathways.

If you’re interested in learning more about Biologics, you’ll attend:

  • Licensing New Products Through CVB
