All practices have their challenges: whether it's managing a team, coping with change, or making sure every patient receives the very best. Underpinning it all is strong leadership that drives a practice forward.
But leadership is not something you learn by yourself; it develops when knowledge, experience, and ideas are exchanged. That's why the VHMA (Veterinary Hospital Managers Association) 2025 Annual Meeting and Conference has become a highly anticipated event.
September 4-6, 2025, veterinary managers and leaders will gather at the Hyatt Regency New Orleans for three days of innovation, collaboration, and inspiration. The theme, "Rhythms of Excellence: Strategies for Veterinary Hospital Success," implies harmony required in today's veterinary practice.
If you’re looking to upgrade your leadership skills, strengthen your practice, and connect with veterinary professionals who share the same goals, VHMA 2025 is the event designed for you.
And while the sessions will inspire, Booth No. 09 will showcase hands-on innovation with the latest surgical instruments crafted for small animal care, among other innovations.
