Session Moderators

MVC endeavors to provide a session moderator for every session presented at the MVC. You do not need to request a moderator in advance.

Copyright Acknowledgment

Speaker agrees that the materials and content they will be presenting do not, to their knowledge, infringe on another’s copyright, trademark, or patent. The Speaker also grants permission to MVC and OVMA to distribute their presentation(s), including handouts, as part of the MVC Conference Proceedings for attendees.

Third-Party Industry Affiliations

OVMA requests that speakers disclose any affiliation with and/or financial interest in any companies/products related to the veterinary industry outside of their current employer. Identification of such is simply to make MVC attendees aware in the interest of transparency.

Speakers should avoid promoting and/or favoring the companies with which they are affiliated in their presentations and conference proceedings materials.

If Speaker is invited and consents to include their presentations in the virtual portion of the program, all rights to the recorded educational material belong to MVC and host OVMA. Speaker can request recordings for promotional and portfolio options only, not for reuse or resale. OVMA reserves the right to review and approve or deny such requests.
