We are delighted to confirm details of the EVDS Dental Wetlabs, which we will be running as a pre-congress event in Amsterdam 2010. Please note that there are only 64 places in total available so please book early to avoid disappointment.
The Wetlabs will be held in conjucntion with the European Veterinary Dental Society and the Dutch Veterinary Dental Society and our lecturers for congress will be tutors on the day.
The Wetlabs will be held at the University of Utrecht which can be reached easily by train from Amsterdam - the train station is across the square from the congress hotel in the heart in Amsterdam. We will provide and pay for the ticket and will provide detailed instructions on train times and how to get there. Presumably there will be a number of people travelling together.
