A conference like no other: Introducing the DEIW Summit

Are you interested in creating a veterinary profession that’s supportive and equitable for all groups and individuals? Are you passionate about improving veterinary wellbeing?

If you answered yes, then there’s a conference taking place this November that you don’t want to miss.

Registration is open for the veterinary profession’s first-ever Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Wellbeing (DEIW) Summit. Presented by the AVMA in partnership with the American Association of Veterinary Medical Colleges (AAVMC), the DEIW Summit will bring together 350 colleagues for an immersive experience of shared learning and growth that promises to engage, educate, and inspire.

More than just a conference, the summit will gather a community united by the shared goal of fostering environments where creativity, wellbeing, and collaboration flourish. 

Taking place at Atlanta’s intimate Starling Hotel, this CE meeting is designed with a focus on small, impactful group sessions. It promises not just participation but a deep, personal involvement in the learning process.
