A Global View on Animal Logistics

Welcome!

The Animal Transportation Association invites you to our 38th Annual Conference. With good value for your money in mind we have set the conference dates for the 18th to the 21st March, in order to take advantage of low season hotel rates, air fares and access to wonderful skiing before or after the conference. The Coast Coal Harbour Hotel has been carefully selected taking into consideration its location and facilities, as well as favorable room rates and free Wi-Fi.

Our sessions are set up in 5 different concurrent tracks based on animal species. Topics will highlight animal welfare, traceability, the ATA grooms program, and various round table discussions. For exact topics and speakers please click here.

Conference Schedule

This will be the first year for 5 complete tracks — Laboratory Animals / Livestock / Equine / Companion Animals / Zoologicals. We are also planning to run each set of animal specific tracks twice to ensure that our attendees do not have to make difficult choices between which presentations to attend.
