The beautiful and lively city and people of Dublin, Ireland welcomed 2,870 attendees representing 86 countries during the 33rd WSAVA Congress held from August 20-24, 2008. The top countries of attendee origin, contributing over 100 delegates each, were Ireland, the United Kingdom, The USA, Australia, Canada, France, and Germany. The Congress was suitably held at the Royal Dublin Society (RDS), which was founded in 1731 to promote the development of agriculture, arts, science, and industry in Ireland, and housed on grounds that cover 40 acres in the heart of Dublin. The continuing education (CE) program was comprised of 235 Congress lectures (including 4 State-Of-The-Art Lectures or SOTALs) accommodated into 8 streams presented by 75 world-renowned veterinary scientists covering over 20 disciplines. This was complemented by 27 oral or poster Abstract presentations and 3 Pre-Congress meetings that provided 14 additional lectures in the areas of veterinary emergency and critical care, feline, and avian medicine. As well, the Animal Welfare track continues as a Congress highlight, attracting more attendees year-over-year, with an additional track on hereditary diseases organized by the WSAVA Committee of the same name, and an update on the tremendous accomplishments of the GI Standardization Group, presented by Dr Robert Washabau. The Congress was supported by WSAVA Prime Partner Hill
