WVC presents new scientific knowledge and information to members of the veterinary profession and their supporting paraprofessional staff. The Conference is intended to accommodate the interests of professionals related to veterinary medicine and not to the general public.

Minimum registration age is 18 years for all categories.

Note: Shelter Medicine personnel, please register under the Veterinary Technician or Administrative Staff category.

DVM Students: DVM Students from accredited US and Canadian schools receive full complimentary registration.  Advance registration is available by completing your profile here.  Note, however, that you will not be registered until you show your current school ID on-site at the Special Services counter.
