We invite you all to join us for our 40th Annual meeting in Clearwater, FL, October 25-27, 2024, for good conversation, the opportunity to meet new friends, greet old friends and learn new things. As always, we encourage new, up and coming surgeons and techs to come learn new ideas, techniques and procedures from ASR mentors, presenters, and the multitude of experience of our members.

We encourage all members, new and old to submit abstracts for posters and presentations. If you have an idea or information that might be useful to the industry, please share! We also have a “Curious George “session where new presenters are encouraged to present short presentations in a safe environment. No subject is too insignificant to present on!

Our wet labs will held at The University of South Florida and we’re excited to partner with them this year. The wet labs and certification exams will take place on September 25th followed by the annual meeting on September 26 and 27, 2023. As always, we are always looking for volunteers for the wet labs and meeting.

We welcome all within the veterinary and human medical field who are performing surgical research or experimental surgery to attend. The annual meeting is also a great way to connect with vendors who can provide you with the right resources to improve your surgical outcomes. Multiple awards are also granted during the annual meeting promoting professional development. No subject is too insignificant to present on!

See you all in Florida!!!! — Steve
