The COVID-19 pandemic might still be rearing its ugly head, but we’re not going to let that stop us from safely getting together January 12–14 in Orlando for the 2022 VetPartners Annual Meeting. We’re masked and ready to mingle, with a jam-packed schedule of unmissable opportunities for veterinary professionals to parley, learn a thing or two, and, most importantly, have a good time.

Santa’s nice list is just as much about doing good for yourself as doing good for others, and with the VetPartners Annual Meeting, you get both! Here’s how:

You’ll make new friends (and connect with old pals, too)

This year, we’re celebrating 20 years of serving the veterinary profession, and the VetPartners Annual Meeting is ultimately about gaining valuable industry insight, communing with your peers, and buddying up with some of the industry’s top professionals interested in the goods you have to offer. We’re upping our networking game even more than usual this year, and you won’t want to miss the invaluable array of lunches, receptions, networking activities, and more!

You’ll have fun

Oh, sunny Florida, how we love flocking your way in January. For those of you who live further north, come escape the cold for a while. And, for those of you who already live in a temperate climate, come escape the mundane tasks of daily life for a while! (And maybe sneak in a trip to Disney with the family?)

DON’T MISS: 

• Great outdoor events
• Random and unplanned mingling with your fellow VetPartners members at the hotel bar (yeah, we know where to find you…)

You’ll be as safe as possible

We’re planning a seriously fun time for the VetPartners Annual Meeting, but we’re also keeping the safety of our members top-of-mind. Events that can be held outdoors will be, and masks will be required indoors. We encourage our members to be fully vaccinated and boosted if possible, too!

DON’T MISS: 

• The safety-themed name badge stickers with sayings like, “Vaccinated.”

We know you’ve been a good veterinary professional this year, but now’s the time to seal the deal and land on Santa’s nice list. Register for the 2022 VetPartners Annual Meeting now!
