The Symposium is broad in scientific scope, geographic range, and impact to the Aquatic Animal Health Community worldwide.\u00a0 Previous meetings have drawn Aquatic Animal Health Professionals from across the globe, with attendance historically being between 300 and 400 participants. The inaugural ISAAH took place in 1988 on the west coast of North America in Vancouver, Canada.\u00a0 Subsequent meetings have all taken place in the US.\u00a0 Fortunately for PEI, the 8<sup>th<\/sup> ISAAH and 30<sup>th<\/sup> Anniversary Meeting will be held in Charlottetown on the east coast of Canada, coming full circle so-to-speak. The 2018 meeting theme will be \u201c<strong><em>Integrating Biotechnology in the Advancement of Aquatic Animal Health<\/em><\/strong> \u201c.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The three co-hosting organizations (FHS, AVC and BioAlliance) have identified and reserved for the period of <strong>September 2-6th, 2018<\/strong>, the conference venue, with accommodations and catering, which meets all the needs of this prestigious international meeting. The hosting hotel for the 2018 ISAAH will be the <strong>Delta Prince Edward<\/strong> in Charlottetown, and the adjoining new <strong>PEI Convention Center<\/strong>.
