ACVS reserves the right to cancel any laboratory that does not meet the minimum number of required registrations set by ACVS on or before August 28. If a laboratory is canceled, all registrants for the canceled laboratory will be notified via email no later than September 5, and all paid registration fees will be refunded.

Laboratory registrants are advised not to make airline and hotel reservations until after September 5 to ensure their selected laboratory is not canceled. ACVS will not reimburse for travel in the case of a cancellation.

All laboratory registration fees must be paid in full by August 28 to guarantee a seat in the desired laboratory. After August 28, all unpaid seats will be released and offered to other participants.

To register by mail or via fax, a printable registration form is available.

Hybrid Laboratories

ACVS is offering four hybrid laboratories. Participants complete pre-recorded digital learning lectures in advance and attend the hands-on laboratory at the 2025 ACVS Surgery Summit in Seattle, WA. This allows participants to earn even more CE hours while making the most of their time in the laboratory.
