4th Congress of the European Association of Veterinary Laboratory Diagnosticians (EAVLD 2016)

Dear Lenka and Rowen,

I want once more to thank you so much for a very successful EAVLD2016 congress in Prague this week. According to Rowen's data we had 312 participants and 26 sponsors plus exhibitors. Theses numbers say it all.

But I also want to stress your very professional logistic approach to this event. Location was very good, layout with sponsors' booths and poster exhibition area together with coffee breaks in the same location, a wide variety of food and beverages and very spacious area around were highly appreciated not only by EAVLD Board but also by many participants and sponsors with whom I had a chance to chat during the congress. It was really nice to hear such warm greetings. Evening tour of Prague was also very interesting. The gala dinner was a memorable event with multilanguage singing soldier Szwejk and his wife - they sang 4 songs in Polish so our group enjoyed it very much. You thought about all the details like guys standing in the way to gala dinner with directions and a lady sitting all congress long in the lecture hall and changing the names of speakers as they appeared.
So I can only congratulate you once more and I think that the best recapitulation for the work you did was the conclusion from the Board after the final meeting, that we should organise the next congres in 2018 also in Prague.
