TIME FOR A TREAT
The International Veterinary Acupuncture Society is presenting its 36th Annual Congress on Veterinary Acupuncture from August 28 to 31, 2010 at the Aalborg Kongres & Kultur Center in Aalborg, Denmark. This is the longest existing annual conference in the history of veterinary acupuncture in the world. We have only begun to tap the potential of these Congresses as there are unlimited growth possibilities with its resultant rewards. This Congress provides a unique opportunity to network with colleagues from around the world.
The study and practice of veterinary acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine has reached an exciting stage in its development with an ever-growing acceptance in mainstream veterinary science. Never before has there been such an appreciation of the therapeutic and healing benefits of veterinary acupuncture and TCVM.
The 2010 Congress presents a broad overview of the very latest information on the deepening relationship between conventional veterinary science and the understandings of this subtle complementary modality. Join this community of veterinarians interested in the practice and exploration of veterinary acupuncture.
- Investigate cutting edge discoveries in the field of veterinary acupuncture through research and in clinical practice.
- Expand your understanding of the potential for integrating traditional Western veterinary science and veterinary acupuncture.
- Share the insights and experiences of dedicated practitioners, researchers, and others.
The 2010 IVAS Congress offers:
- Over 50 hours of exciting continuing education lectures and wet labs.
- Social events and networking opportunities.
- Exhibitors focused on veterinary acupuncture and TCVM.
- Aalborg offers a perfect place to bring families with lots to do and see for everyone.
Aalborg is located in North Jutland - the country at the top of Denmark with its special light, wide-open spaces with masses of fresh air, and beautiful, varied wild life and scenery.
North Jutland is the land of experiences. From untouched nature, forested dunes and nature reserves to exciting city holidays with art, culture and masses of shopping opportunities. From Skagen in the north where the two seas meet to the beautiful landscapes to the south that were formed in the ice age. From the wild, captivating West coast with its holiday resorts to the beautiful, family-friendly beaches of the East coast and the peaceful Limfjord that cuts right through the country with its picturesque ports, historic sites and views over land, water, jetties and harbors. North Jutland has it all. Visit www.visitnordjylland.dk and get an insight for a special Congress off the beaten track.
In the center of Aalborg you will find a wide range of specialty shops alongside the big department stores. There are two main pedestrian streets - Bispensgade and Algade - in the center and several traffic-free side streets off of these.
The south part of the city - City Syd - contains Aalborg's main shopping mall, Aalborg Storcenter, with 65 shops including the department store Bilka. Here you can "shop till you drop" in all weather conditions without catching a cold if it begins to rain. There are also plenty of opportunities to pause for a bite and a drink as you shop. Enjoy lunch at one of Aalborg's many cafes or restaurants. There are plenty to choose from and something for every taste from a gourmet meal to a quick and cheap sandwich on the run.
After a long day filled with shopping and Congress excitement, the body needs to be thoroughly spoiled and the batteries recharged. Give your body and your senses a treat with warmth, a massage, and relaxation in one of the many wellness and spa centers, offering everything from an all-over treatment to pure and simple relaxation in beautiful, luxurious surroundings.
