Providing LIVE IN PERSON Continuing Education
2020 and 2021 have been challenging years for many and continues to be challenging, but 2022 has also offered some interesting new innovative opportunities. We applaud those who have adapted to prosper during Covid and we salute those who have fought their way thru these crazy years.
Our company has consistently offered LIVE IN PERSON CE conferences for 38 years (since 1984). We know you have many choices to make when deciding how to fulfill your state licensing requirements. For 2022 we will continue hosting our live face to face conferences of the year and would love to see both our old friends and welcome any new faces who prefer to attend live classes. Our vendors have stayed with us to help keep your costs reasonable while at the same time receiving the highest quality CE available.
Our second conference for 2022, on July 28 - 31, 2022, Bluegrass Veterinary Conference at the beautiful Caesar's Southern Indiana Hotel and Casino in Elizabeth, Indiana, is experiencing high bookings, so please plan ahead and make your reservations soon and please feel free to let your friends, classmates and associates know how you feel about our events.
Thank you, Howie and Martha Lee
