The 2014 ALAA Roundtable was held at the Embassy Suites in Chicago, IL! It was a huge success with a total of 69 attendees from across the globe. From meet and greet socializing to the conference room, fun times were blended with learning experiences for all attendees. The speakers were wonderful and brought many thought provoking ideas to the table, which sparked many follow up conversations ranging from marketing tips to USDA laws to health testing decisions among breeders in our social media circles. Some very interesting and controversial thoughts and ideas about breeding and genetics were brought forward by the presentation from Rhonda Hovan. Julian Prager, an attorney, discussed the new USDA laws and how they will affect breeders and Bob Stefano gave excellent social media and marketing tips. A huge “Thank-you” to everyone who attended and helped make this event a fun and educational gathering of fellow friends and breeders!
