Vet Together takes place at the Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall from October 1 to 3, 2026. The event follows an appointment-focused format instead of a traditional open trade show floor. You can go in with clear questions and know what you want to discuss.
Alongside those scheduled appointments, the conference runs a VetEx exhibit hall block each day, a slate of education sessions, and after-hours networking receptions.
GerVetUSA will be at Booth VT461 throughout the event. This guide covers the schedule, tips for planning your instrument conversations, and what to expect from our high-end surgical instrumentation.
Vet Together Conference: A Quick Overview
• Event: Vet Together Veterinary Conference 2026
• Dates: October 1 to 3, 2026
• Host: Together Media
• Venue: Las Vegas Convention Center West Hall
• Continuing Education: 10+ CE credits
• GerVetUSA Booth: VT461
Format: Prescheduled one-on-one vendor appointments, a VetEx exhibit hall, education sessions, and networking receptions.
Vet Together Veterinary Conference 2026 is built for practice owners, hospital administrators, and managers attending as hosted practices, paired with vendors and service providers who want direct, scheduled time with those decision makers rather than general foot traffic.
What Makes Vet Together a Special Kind of Veterinary Event
Vet Together does not run like a typical walk-the-floor trade show. The event, hosted by Together Media, is built around curated one-on-one appointments that match veterinary practices with vendors based on what each practice is actually looking to solve, rather than leaving attendees to work a booth list on their own. Organizers describe it as compressing a year's worth of vendor meetings into a few focused days.
Rather than three days of walking an exhibit hall, Vet Together pre-matches attendees with vendors based on what each practice says it needs, then builds the rest of the event around those one-on-one meetings, continuing education, and after-hours networking.
The best part? You are not competing for a vendor's attention on a crowded floor. You get dedicated time to talk through instrument sizing, sterilization needs, and case-specific requirements for smaller and more delicate patients.
