Can my partner/guest and children visit the exhibit hall with me?

Everyone is welcome in the exhibit hall on Wednesday May 31. However—after that— due to insurance requirements, the exhibit hall will only be open to registered attendees and partners/guests with badges. Badges for partners/guests and children over the age of 16 can be purchased at the registration desk (to cover the cost of the daily brunch). Children under 16 are not permitted in the exhibit hall June 1 – 3.

What time does class begin and end each day?
CE sessions start at 7:00am Thursday – Sunday. Sessions dismiss at 1:00pm Thursday – Saturday, and 11:40am on Sunday. Brunch is served Thursday – Saturday in the exhibit hall to keep you fueled up until lunchtime! 
There is no CE on Wednesday, but please join us for the Exhibit Hall Grand Opening at 5:30pm!

How many CE hours can I get by attending?
Each day includes 5 hours of CE that you can attend. If you attend the entire conference, you could receive 20 hours for the DVM classes. For the technician/staff program on Saturday & Sunday, there would be a total of 10 hours.
