Excited to see all our Arkansans at SWVS!

Y'all, THIS IS THE WEEK! 🤠🎉

We have been counting down to this moment all year long and we can hardly believe it is finally here. In just a few days the Henry B. González Convention Center in San Antonio is going to come alive with the best and brightest in veterinary medicine and we could not be more excited to welcome every single one of you.

To our returning SWVS family members, welcome back friends. There is nothing quite like that feeling of walking through those doors and seeing familiar faces from across the region. We have missed y'all!

To our first-timers, get ready because you are in for something truly special. SWVS is not just a conference. It is an experience and a community that we know you are going to love.

We will see y'all Thursday! San Antonio is ready for you. 💜🐾

There is still time to register!
