The 2026 convention is held in Las Vegas, Nevada.
The organizer identifies professionals, technicians, assistants, staff, and students as attendees.
It is worth it for equine veterinary technicians, assistants and students who want profession-specific continuing education, since the speaker list of more than thirty names is heavy with LVT, RVT and VTS-EVN credentialed technicians alongside DVM and board-certified specialists. Small-animal technicians and practice owners with no horse caseload would get less from it, and the sponsors Zoetis and Butterfly indicate a veterinary product presence rather than a broad trade show.
Veterinary technician conferences are usually casual to business casual, with clean slacks or jeans, polos or branded shirts, and comfortable shoes for long session days. Las Vegas hotel conference rooms are often cool, so a light layer is sensible in a December convention.
