It is the individual’s responsibility to know the specific requirements of their state. State VMAs are blanket approved by most states for continuing education. As of February 27, 2024, ECVC is RACE-approved by the AAVSB. CE Broker Tracking #: 20-1096494.
Our Recent Graduate Program, brought to you in partnership with Hill’s, is a new program exclusively available to veterinarians that graduated in the years 2022, 2023, 2024. This registration type gets you access to the sessions listed under the Recent Graduate Program. If you would like to attend sessions outside of the Recent Graduate Program tracks, you must register at the full conference rate.
CE sessions start at 7:00am Thursday – Sunday. Sessions dismiss at 1:00pm Thursday – Saturday, and 11:40am on Sunday. Brunch is served Thursday – Saturday in the exhibit hall to keep you fueled up until lunchtime!
There is no CE on Wednesday, but please join us for the Exhibit Hall Grand Opening at 5:30pm!
Each day includes 5 hours of CE that you can attend. If you attend the entire conference, you could receive 20 hours for the DVM classes. For the technician/staff program on Saturday & Sunday, there would be a total of 10 hours.

Everyone is welcome in the exhibit hall on Wednesday. However—after that— due to insurance requirements, the exhibit hall will only be open to registered attendees and partners/guests with badges. Badges for partners/guests and children over the age of 16 can be purchased at the registration desk (to cover the cost of the daily brunch). Children under 16 are not permitted in the exhibit hall Thursday – Sunday.
