Collaborate. Educate. Advocate

The Veterinary Leadership Conference (VLC) is the veterinary profession’s premier conference for leadership development. Through a unique mix of CE sessions, AVMA governance meetings, and networking, attendees will expand and hone leadership skills while connecting with a diverse network of colleagues from all walks of the veterinary profession.

Attendees will collaborate through engaging networking events and activities, working together to uplift the profession between unique, educational opportunities. Throughout the conference, leaders from all walks of life will hone their skills to better advocate and make key decisions for the good of the veterinary profession.

The 2025 VLC will be held at the Sheraton Grand Chicago Riverwalk. Attendance costs $365, and registration is open.
