Exciting News: VetTogether 2025 in New Orleans!

After attending the VetTogether Conference last November, I’ve been sharing my incredible experience with several managers and I’m thrilled to announce that the next conference will be held October 27–29, 2025, in New Orleans!

This conference was truly one-of-a-kind and stands out from any other I’ve attended. In addition to invaluable networking opportunities and continuing education (CE), VetTogether offers a unique “speed dating” format with vendors. During 15-minute, one-on-one appointments, vendors come to you to discuss their products and services in detail.

When I returned from the conference, I had implemented some amazing new tools and resources for our practice, including: a new client-facing app, a revamped microchip program, an online store for compounds, a new CPA and a new business insurance advisor.

As a hosted hospital, you’ll enjoy complimentary flights and hotel accommodations—it’s almost too good to be true!

If your practice has three or more doctors and you’re interested in this fantastic opportunity, let me know. I’d love to share more details.

I can’t wait to see you all in New Orleans for VetTogether 2025!
