About WVC - Western Veterinary Conference

WVC's Annual Conference is the largest, most respected veterinary conference in the world. The 2015 conference will be held February 15-19, 2015 at the beautiful Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, NV.

For 87 years, the WVC Annual Conference has been among the most highly anticipated events in the veterinary community – and for good reason.

More than a conference, it has become an industry institution – a place where the best and brightest congregate for five days every year. It’s where the latest breakthroughs are announced, the most innovative techniques are shared, and lasting connections are made.

What’s more, it all takes place in a host city like no other, Las Vegas. With unmatched options for dining, entertainment, shopping and more, every minute spent outside the conference will be well worth the trip.
