5 answeredIt starts on December 7, 2026.
It takes place at Menger Hotel in San Antonio, Texas.
The organizer lists experienced IACUC members and administrators, principal investigators, attending veterinarians, regulatory personnel, and laboratory animal care staff.
It is worth it for IACUC members, attending veterinarians and research compliance staff, since attendance is limited to experienced people in those roles, the faculty includes many board-certified laboratory animal veterinarians, and the program covers research animal welfare and IACUC policy.
Attendees at laboratory animal science and research compliance meetings usually wear business casual, such as slacks and collared shirts, and the historic Menger Hotel setting fits that style.
