The 13th Antibiotics Symposium will convene in Atlanta, GA November 7 – 9, 2023.
NIAA will continue the focus on a One Health approach to antimicrobial resistance and stewardship in Atlanta, GA from November 7-9 at the Emory Conference Center and Hotel.
Symposium will connect leaders from animal, human and environmental health organizations and provide an opportunity to collaborate on research, education, and communication endeavors.
The purpose of the inaugural Symposium in 2011 was for animal health and human health experts to share science‐based information so an honest dialogue could ensue. Today, the dialogue is just as important. The Symposium will provide opportunities for attendees to participate in panel discussions, interact with speakers, collaborate in small group sessions and connect with leaders from animal, human, and environmental health organizations.
The last day to reserve a room is October 15.
