Due to the number of submissions received and the needs of our members, we are unable to guarantee certain time slot requests. If you are unable to present at a certain time, please let us know in the comment section below.

It is the policy of the New York State Association of Veterinary Technicians that all presenters and speakers must disclose any financial interest or their relationships (i.e., manufacturers, vendors, grant sources, research support, consultant relationships, honoraria, etc.) regarding the products, services or outcomes that may be discussed in the educational presentation.

The New York State Association of Veterinary Technicians does not imply that such financial or other interests or relationships would prevent the speaker from making a presentation. However, it is imperative that such financial interests or relationships be identified by the speakers so that participants of the educational program may have these facts fully disclosed prior to the presentations, and may form their own judgments about the presentation.

The commercial support standards require that presentations give a balanced view of veterinary opinions, preferably using generic names. If it is necessary to use a trade name, then please use those of several companies. If your presentation is on research conducted by commercial companies, please provide a detailed outline at this time. Further, should your presentation include discussion of any unlabeled or investigational use of a commercial product, you are required to disclose this to the participants.

I agree that NYSAVT has the right to use the educational materials and photos I provide to distribute to participants of their continuing education programs. Furthermore, I affirm that the material I am presenting is original or that I have written permission from the copyright holder to use his/her materials. I agree to use the Power Point template provided by NYSAVT.

Professional Conduct Statement

I affirm that I am in good standing with the profession I am affiliated with, I demonstrate high standards of professional conduct and code of ethics, and I do not discriminate against participants on the basis of gender, age, socioeconomic or ethnic background, sexual orientation, or disability.

Speakers will be compensated $100 per speaking hour.

NYSAVT is not responsible for reimbursing travel or lodging expenses. Speakers will receive 50% off seminar registration should they wish to attend courses. If you plan to do so, please wait to register until the NYSAVT office provides you with your discount code.
