As a conference delegate, we would like to note the extremely important role our sponsors play in allowing the Australian

Veterinary Association to hold great conferences such as this. Without their ongoing generosity and support, the

registration fees for these events would increase significantly. With this in mind, it is vitally important that this support is

reciprocated whilst delegates are in attendance. The sponsors of the Australian Veterinary Association Queensland

Division Annual Conference event will exhibit products relevant to all veterinarians and time in the exhibition area will be

time well spent.
