Registration is open for AVMA Convention 2022 in the City of Brotherly Love. Reunite with veterinary colleagues from across the country July 29-August 2 in Philadelphia. It will be AVMA’s first in-person Convention in two years, and we’re planning a reunion you won’t forget.

If you’ve been to an AVMA Convention in the past, you know it’s a can’t-miss event. If not, here’s a look at just some of what you can expect this summer in Philadelphia:

Nearly 600 hours of high-quality CE

Learn from the best and brightest in the profession. You’ll find everything from hands-on labs and workshops to lectures and panel discussions. You’re guaranteed to find the CE you need to stay at the forefront of veterinary medicine. Create your own CE program and decide how and what you want to learn. Sessions are organized into content tracks and further divided into sub-topics, so it’s easy to find the topics that interest you most. Start planning your CE.

Entertainment and wellbeing events

Our packed schedule of special events offers the perfect opportunity to relax, recharge, and enjoy some well-deserved fun. Live Life, Love All celebrates all the beautiful things that make us different and the profession that brings us together. This year’s event will feature a first-ever ping pong tournament!

The AVMA concert is consistently ranked as attendees’ favorite event at Convention, featuring a great musical headliner every year. Get ready to take it back to the late ‘90s with this year’s group. If you’re a veterinary technician or young professional, you’ll find special events just for you.

In the exhibit hall, everyone will want to check out the Center for Wellbeing. It’s a staple of AVMA Convention, and it's back and better than ever in 2022. Stop in to get a free health screening, learn about AVMA's wellbeing resources, speak with a licensed mental health professional, recharge, get tips on staying healthy, and more. Explore all special events at Convention.

This is the best place to connect with the people who can help you advance your career.
