Providing LIVE IN PERSON Continuing Education
2020 through 2022 have been challenging years for many and continues to be challenging, but these years 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 39 years (since 1984). We know you have many choices to make when deciding how to fulfill your state licensing requirements. For 2023 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 first conference for 2023, the Mountain Veterinary Conference on April 16 - 19, 2023 at the beautiful Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort and The Cherokee Convention Center in Cherokee, North Carolina 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
