Join us for the Iowa Veterinary Medical Association's Annual Meeting on Thursday, September 25, and Friday, September 26, at the Scheman Building in Ames, Iowa! This year’s theme, “Beyond Healing,” highlights the many ways veterinary professionals support animals, clients, and each other. With a wide range of expert-led sessions for both veterinarians and veterinary technicians, this is a valuable opportunity to expand your knowledge and stay current in the field.

Attendees can earn continuing education credits—an important step toward meeting the Iowa veterinary licensing renewal deadline in June 2026. This is the final IVMA Annual Meeting before the end of the licensing period, so don’t miss your chance to fulfill CE requirements. The IVMA Annual Meeting also includes vendor exhibits and a networking reception to connect with peers and industry partners. Register today to invest in your professional growth and celebrate the future of veterinary medicine!
