WVC\u2019s annual conference will move from March to February in 2019 and last four days instead of five.<\/p>\n

The schedule changes followed a survey of conference attendees.<\/p>\n

\u201cWVC\u2019s goal is to always respond to the needs of the profession and our participants,\u201d CEO David Little said.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoving the WVC<\/a> annual conference back to February means more reasonable hotel room rates and increased availability and less competition with other major conferences.\u201d<\/p>\n

The 2018 conference, held in early March at Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, drew about\u00a014,000 attendees.<\/p>\n

The 2019 conference is set for Feb. 17 to 20 at Mandalay Bay, starting on Sunday and ending Wednesday. The previously scheduled dates were March 3 to 7.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe understand and are sensitive to the pressures on veterinary professionals, time being one of the most important and the one there never seems to be enough of,\u201d said Tony Pease, DVM, WVC\u2019s chief veterinary medical officer. \u201cIn order to provide maximum value to our participants, it means allowing them to get all of the continuing education they can [and] covering all of the topics important to them, all the while being considerate of their need to get back to their day job.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
