Yes, they are the same event as of 2025! In years past, the two events have been held simultaneously and in the same location but offered separate education tracks with limited overlap in activities.

In 2025 it is a single annual conference—which includes a technician track planned in partnership with MAVT—gives veterinary technicians access to a broader pool of sessions and activities and offers an experience that is inclusive of all veterinary professionals. MVMA is looking forward to hosting an expanded Annual Conference, and we are excited to welcome you to Minneapolis in January 2025!
