Abstract:

Dear Esteemed Guests, Distinguished Speakers, Honorable Delegates, and all participants worldwide

With great pleasure and excitement, we extend our warmest welcome to the First International Avian Influenza Summit, a momentous event hosted by the Center of Excellence in Poultry Science of the University of Arkansas. This groundbreaking summit, set to take place in Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA, on October 16-17, 2023, promises to be a significant milestone in the global efforts to combat Avian Influenza. Through the convergence of leading experts, innovators, and stakeholders worldwide, we aim to forge new frontiers in research, policy, and industry collaboration.

The unique free hybrid format of this event, blending both in-person and virtual participation (a total of 1,842 participants from all over the world, see Figure 1), ensures that knowledge exchange and networking opportunities are accessible to a diverse and global audience. Whether you join us in Fayetteville or connect remotely, you will be crucial in advancing our collective understanding and response to this critical challenge. Over the course of two days, the summit will feature a dynamic program encompassing keynote addresses, panel discussions, workshops, and interactive sessions.

Together, we will explore the latest advancements in avian influenza research, surveillance strategies, vaccination initiatives, and emergency response protocols. Moreover, this summit provides a vital platform for fostering collaborations between academia, industry, government agencies, and non-governmental organizations. By harnessing all stakeholders’ collective expertise and resources, we can catalyze innovation and drive solutions that protect both avian and human populations.

In the spirit of unity and shared purpose, we look forward to the stimulating conversations, valuable insights, and lasting connections that will emerge from this summit. Together, we can profoundly impact the global fight against Avian Influenza.

Once again, welcome to the First International Avian Influenza Summit. We are honored to have you with us, and we are confident that your contributions will help pave the way for a safer and more resilient future.
