The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources invites you to the 3rd International Chronic Wasting Disease Symposium to be held in beautiful Park City, Utah on July 22-24, 2009!

“CWD – Advancing the Science and Developing the Tools” will be the theme
for this symposium. As new research continues to broaden our understanding of CWD, wildlife managers have been presented with new and unique challenges that necessitate a fresh look at how CWD should be managed in cervid populations. This symposium will explore issues such as prion research and biology, management and control of CWD in wild and captive cervids, human dimensions of CWD, and CWD surveillance, just to name a few.

In order to provide attendees with the option of attending any and all session presentations, special sessions will not run concurrently. Outside of speaker presentations, attendees can also enjoy a variety of opportunities to socialize with colleagues, including a welcome reception, poster and cocktail session and banquet.

The accommodations at the Park City Marriot are those of a First-class mountain hotel, and symposium registration includes breakfast, lunch, snacks, and a delicious banquet. Park City, Utah is a beautiful, historic Rocky Mountain town and premier summer vacation destination located only 36 miles from the Salt Lake International Airport. It is a great location to combine work and family, vacation, or to use as a starting point to tour some of the 7 National Parks of southern Utah that are within a 4 -10 hour drive from Salt Lake City. Sign up now to take advantage of early registration pricing for this unique and informative symposium!
