General Information
This is a fun, intimate meeting filled with many opportunities to share ideas, treatments and topics that are relevant today. Diversity abounds... about ½ of the attendees are from the EU, Australia and the East the rest typically attend from Canada and the US. If you haven’t attended the symposium in the past, this is a must-try for equine practitioners! All attendees become members, and members always receive a ‘meeting pearls’ summary and complimentary proceedings of the meeting the week following the event.
Host Hotel
The 2025 IEOC/an-vision, Inc. Symposium will take place at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Lucerne. Room block details will become available November 1st. The facility is in the center of Lucerne, highly walkable and with competitive rates. Please consider staying at the host hotel at least over the 3 nights of the Symposium as this is a contractual obligation that we must fill these rooms, or write a check as a penalty. We have done our best to provide accommodations that include breakfast and on-site rooming, at a lowered block-group rate. We appreciate your support.
