The event was held mid September and attracted both local and international speakers and an audience of more than 500 veterinarians.

One of the keynote speakers was Dr. Gerhardt Schuring, Dean of Veterinary Medicine at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in the U.S. and inventor of the RB51 vaccine, who gave a highly informative presentation on Brucella Abortus (also known as undulant fever).
