With luck on our side, the Mountain Veterinary Conference is scheduled for April 18 - 21, 2021 in Cherokee, North Carolina!
Providing LIVE IN PERSON Continuing Education
2020 had been a challenging year for many and 2021 continues to be challenging, but 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 this crazy year.
Our company has consistently offered LIVE IN PERSON CE conferences for 36 years (since 1984). We know you have many choices to make when deciding how to fulfill your state licensing requirements. For the last quarter of 2020 we will be hosting several live face to face conferences 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.
The Mountain Veterinary Conference on April 18 - 21, 2021 at the beautiful Harrah’s Cherokee Casino Resort in Cherokee, North Carolina has already experienced 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
