Why attend?
AVMA Convention 2022 is back in person this summer in historic Philadelphia! Taking place July 29 – August 2, this meeting has something for every background and interest. Everyone is welcome—it's your convention! Reunite with the veterinary profession, and gain an educational edge through best-in-class CE – including hands on labs and workshops, panels, and lectures taught by veterinary experts. Network with colleagues, make new friends, and discover products and services that will enhance your veterinary career.
