What's coming up

• The next AVMAC and Industry Liaison Group meetings will be held on 24 February 2005 in Wellington. The other 2005 meeting dates for both groups are 19 May, 18 August and 17 November.

• The third VICH conference will be held in Washington DC, USA. There is a flyer enclosed with this edition of AgVetLink. We would encourage you to register early and book flights if you are intending travelling to the States at this time as it is very close to a holiday period. Don’t forget to check new travel arrangements with your travel agent prior to travel as a new passport may be required for some travellers.
