Following the great success of the virtual 2020 conference (rescheduled and held earlier this month), the date for the 2021 meeting is out and it is going to be *bigger, better, and hopefully more global *than ever! The 2021 meeting will be expanded to *2 FULL days* (which means *16 hours of RACE-*accredited CE for the same price of only *$50* - what a deal). This meeting will be focused on *pathology of the GI tract - the tube and pancreas* (no liver - that's another subject in itself for another meeting). Friday will focus on small animal GI, with *UGA Professor of Pathology Jesse Hostetter* giving our Friday Keynote on *Evaluating Endoscopic GI Biopsies* and being our expert commenter for the rest of the day, which will include small animal and non-avian exotic GI cases. On Saturday, Prof Paco Uzal will give a lecture on *large animal GI pathology* and be our commentator for large animal and poultry/avian cases. We now have *20 additional 10-minute slots for presenters *(in addition to those already reserved for our traditional presenters from the Joint Pathology Center, Cornell, UPenn, NCSU, and the National Zoo), and we are looking for presenters from around the world! The language for case presentation is in *English,* and all materials (glass slides and writeups) are due by *August 8th.* This year for the first time, We are also this year taking scanned slides as submissions in the following formats - *Aperio (.svs), Hamamatsu (.vms, .vmu, or .ndpi), Leica (.scn), MIRAX (.mrxs), Philips (.tiff), Sakura (.svslide), Trestle (.tif), Ventana (.bif or .tif), or generic tiled TIFF (.tif) format.* *Presenters will attend at no charge*, and attendees will receive two relaxing, informal and fun days of RACE-accredited CE for the incredibly low price of only $50. If you would like to present a case, these slots will fill up fast, so contact course director *Dr. Sarah Cudd* at skcudddvm@gmail.com for details and diamond-hard deadlines. If you would like to participate as a non-presenting attendee, you can register now at: https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8EJaPl-rQ-aMEorkEXMhMg <https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_8EJaPl-rQ-aMEorkEXMhMg?fbclid=Iw...> We look forward to seeing you in September!
