Kiruna Sladdhundklub Biennial Symposium & ISVDMA Conference

This is the Kiruna Sladdhundklub’s renowned biennial Musher Symposium, a decades-old convocation of European mushers from throughout Scandinavia and lower Europe. Since at least 2011, each Sladdhundklub Biennial Symposium has hosted roughly 350 mushers and some two-dozen exhibitors, as well as notable speakers such as mushers Roxy Wright, Ray Redington, Dallas Seavey, Hobo Jim, Jeff Schultz, Hans Gatt, Tim White, and veterinarians Drs. Dominique Grandjean, Arleigh Reynolds, and Jerry Vanek.

In 2024, the two-day Musher Symposium will be preceded by the ISDVMA Biennial Symposium featuring two full days of the latest advances in veterinary science and sled dog medicine presented by the foremost researchers in their respective fields. These Symposia, held since 1994, continue to expand the ever increasing and astonishing library of data on the incomparable sled dog athlete.
