Connecting Great Ideas and Great People: Tucson to Host 2008 Annual Conference

The Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, Arizona will host AVDA's 2008 Annual Conference April 27-29, 2008

The theme of the 2008 AVDA Annual Conference to be held April 27 – 29 at the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort in Tucson, AZ is Connecting Great Ideas and Great People. The conference will connect great ideas and great people by mixing stimulating business sessions with unique networking opportunities, trademarks of AVDA meetings. Our recipe for success includes connecting the key leaders from veterinary distributor and supplier companies with great ideas derived from their years of business experience.

Information on 2008 speakers, sessions and full schedule will be posted on the AVDA website in the coming months. By attendee request, the AVDA Awards Dinner will once again feature a dance band and a spouse / companion tour. Avid tennis players are encouraged to bring their racquets to participate in an impromptu tennis tournament that will be open to all delegates and spouse/companions on Monday, April 28. Please contact AVDA Headquarters if you or your spouse/companion are interested in participating in the tennis tournament.

An oasis in the foothills of the Catalina Mountains, the Loews Ventana Canyon Resort is located on a plateau above the city of Tucson. The resort embraces the spirit of this unique and beautiful land boasting 100 acres of lush desert sanctuary. The resort features 398 newly renovated guest rooms, two Tom Fazio designed PGA golf courses, eight lighted tennis courts, two swimming pools and a 7,000-square-foot full-service spa. The resort offers four restaurants including the only AAA 5-Diamond experience in Tucson, the Ventana Room. Click here to see more about the hotel.
