11th INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM ON AVIAN VIRAL RESPIRATORY DISEASES
In 2016 and 2022, we continued Prof. Kaleta’s long-standing tradition of organizing unique poultry symposiums for scientists and industry professionals involved in research on relevant poultry viruses, such as infectious bronchitis virus, avian metapneumovirus, infectious laryngotracheitis virus, and Newcastle Disease Virus. This symposium alternates with the International Avian Respiratory Diseases Conferences, which was last held in 2024 in Athens, GA, USA targeting a similar scope and audience.
The main purpose of this symposium is to bring together all those with special knowledge of and interest in all avian viral respiratory diseases except avian influenza. This includes infectious bronchitis virus, avian metapneumovirus, Newcastle Disease Virus and infectious laryngotracheitis virus. During this symposium we will pay special attention to the 100th anniversary of the first diagnosis of Newcastle disease in England and Indonesia.
We are very happy to announce that colleagues from the Royal GD (Deventer, The Netherlands) and the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine of Utrecht University (The Netherlands), organized as the Avian Viral Respiratory Diseases (AVRD) Foundation, will jointly organize the 11th International Symposium on Avian Viral Respiratory Diseases (AVRD2026) in June 2026. As in the previous symposiums, the meeting will have a limited number of participants (maximum 120 people). It will take place at the same venue Landgoed ISVW as in 2016 and 2022 near the city of Utrecht, The Netherlands. It will start on Tuesday 16th of June and end on Friday 19th early afternoon.
We are delighted to invite you to the AVRD 2026. At Landgoed ISVW, we are offering you an enjoyable setting and an interesting scientific program that will provide many opportunities to socialize and interact with the AVRD community. To secure your place at the AVRD Symposium register with the early bird discount before March 1 2026.
The organizing committee would like to invite participants to submit an abstract for an oral or poster presentation in the field of avian viral respiratory diseases. The scientific committee will evaluate and decide which abstracts can be presented orally.
If you have any questions about the symposium, please contact the Symposium Secretariat.
On behalf of the local organizing committee, the AVRD Foundation, we look forward to welcoming you to the AVRD 2026!
