Dear Colleagues,

As a result of the current uncertain situation regarding Covid-19, the International and Local Organising Committees of the Equine Infectious Disease Conference (IEIDC) have decided to change the meeting from an in-person gathering in Deauville (Normandy, France), to a wholly on-line event. We intend to hold the on-line meeting, as planned, from the 27^th of September to the 1^st of October 2021.

Although it will not be possible for us all to attend the meeting as we intended it is still important that we all, as a research community, come together to present our latest research findings and catch up with what other researchers in our field are doing. The Call For Abstracts will be coming out soon and abstract submission will open on 26^th of March 2021.

I hope you have been able to stay safe in the current pandemic and I look forward to seeing you (on-line) in September!

Regards,
James
Chair: International Organising Committee
11^th Equine Infectious Disease Conference
