A Note about Symposium Lottery:
The SAVMA Symposium lottery is run each year to allow for every student registrant to have a fair and equal opportunity to register for popular wet labs or day trips no matter what time zone they live in.
During the lottery registration period, every attendee has the option to rank up to 2 wet lab(s) and/or day trip(s) they wish to participate in. When lottery registration closes, individuals are randomly selected and assigned to a wet lab or day trip based on their chosen ranked selection(s).
Participation in the lottery does not guarantee a spot in a wet lab or day trip. If you have been placed in either your 1st or 2nd choice of wet labs and/or day trips you will be registered for that event, your credit card will be charged and you will be notified. If you were unable to be placed in a wet lab or day trip, you will be notified as well.
Starting on December 5th, 2022 at 9am Central, students who did not previously register are able to do so after this time. Students who participated in the lottery, also have the opportunity to register for any additional wet lab or day trips they wish to add to their itinerary starting after this date. To do so, the student would need to find their registration confirmation email to access the link to the Attendee Service Center where you can edit your registration and add any additional wet labs or day trips.
Editing your registration
Starting December 5th, 2022 at 9am Central any wet labs or day trips with remaining seats available are listed on the registration website on a first come, first serve basis until full.
To make a change to your previous registration such as add a wet lab or day trip, add an event or workshop, you must go to your registration confirmation email to view the link for the Attendee Service Center as well as your login credentials for this site. Once logged in you can edit your previous registration to include any additional events.
