Viticus Group Insider
April 2025
Thank YOU for Breaking WVC Records!
This year’s WVC Annual Conference was GAME ON, with fun and excitement taken to a whole new level. From the moment you walked up the ramp and heard the DJ, we hope you made amazing memories to share with your friends and colleagues.
This year’s conference welcomed a record number of attendees, and if you attended the Ludacris concert, you probably won't be surprised to learn that it was one of our top-attended events in our almost 100-year history!
ICYMI: WVC Vegas now has a Nashville pardner! That's right...Viticus Group announced its expansion to Nashville! The expansion signifies a pivotal moment in the organization’s nearly 100-year history, adding WVC Nashville, a new veterinary continuing education conference on a national level, and a state-of-the-art hands-on education center in a vibrant and accessible location. WVC Nashville is scheduled for Aug. 16 to 18, 2026 at Music City Center and the new training facility is scheduled to be fully operational in the summer 2026 (subject to change).
We’re so excited to reveal more Nashville info over the coming months, and we encourage you to join our WVC Nashville Alert List to make sure you’re up to date on all things WVC Nashville.
Plan your CE now for both Vegas AND Nashville. All the smart, serious fun that you know and love is now in two locations with the world-class education, entertainment and more in two locations to build your confidence in your practice.
Once again, we thank you for choosing to GAME ON and earn your CE with us in Las Vegas this March. Our goal remains the same, and that is to make WVC the premier veterinary continuing education conference for you and your colleagues to enjoy.
