ASAV participated in the 2011 PNER (Pacific North-West Endurance Riders) Conference from Jan. 21st until Jan. 23rd, 2011, Portland, Oregon as one of the event exhibitors. The ASAV booth attracted a lot of visitors, who inquired about:
- Shagya-Arabians
- ASAV as Organization & Registry in North America & Canada
- Shagya-Arabian Breeders - specifically in the North-West & Canada
- ASAV Jump-Start-Program
- The forthcoming ASAV Annual Meeting end of April in California
- and much more ...

The following brochures & handouts were available at the ASAV booth:
    - Overview about Shagyas
    - ASAV as Organization for the Registration of Shagyas and Shagya Outcrosses
    - ASAV Publications and previous Newsletters
    - ASAV Jump-Start Program 2011
    - Shagya Calendars & Pictures
    - Other Publications & Printouts

ASAV had a large flat-screen monitor, where several slideshows continuously were shown. The pictures about the National Stud Babolna and the Babolna Shagya-Arabians attracted the highest attention. It was again interesting to see people walking by and stopping to watch the slide show or video and then further inquiring about the Shagya-Arabians and subsequently ASAV. The ASAV Studbook was available and received also a lot of attention & kudos. Some of the visitors never had seen a Studbook before. ASAV received multiple inquiries, where Shagyas can be found, standing at farms & ranches of ASAV members & breeders in the Pacific North-West region. ASAV gave references to related inquires.

As in previous years, we had several people signing up for a membership with ASAV, and several ASAV members renewed their 2011 membership during the event. We received a lot of positive feedback & encouragement.
