Page 1: Attendee Information

Enter the following information for the person you are registering:

• First & Last Name
• Email address* (this is where we will send your confirmation)
  *IMPORTANT: To avoid creating a duplicate record, you must use the same email address you have used to register for past MVCs or to join OVMA.
• Individual type (veterinarian, technician, etc.)
• State of residence
• If you are registering on behalf of someone else, check the box and fill in your information. You will receive a confirmation email and be able to access the registration to make changes, if needed.

All information on this page is required to proceed.

Page 2: Personal & Contact Information

If the registrant is already in our database (OVMA members, previous attendees, etc.), the system will pre-populate the information we have on file. Please check to make sure it is correct; any changes made will update the individual's permanent record.

Personal Information

Please fill out the nickname field with your preferred name (it may be the same as your first name or different), which will appear on your badge. The other fields will populate with the information we have on file or the details you type on the previous page.

Professional Information

This section is for veterinarians only and allows us to send only information relevant to your area of practice.

Contact Information

You must provide a mailing address to receive your confirmation packet and badge in the mail. If you leave this section blank, or it is out of date, you will not get a packet prior to the MVC.

Communication Preferences

This section will show the mailing lists you are subscribed to, if any, and how you prefer us to communicate with you. If you would like to change how you receive MVC information, please denote your preference in this section. By default, we contact you by postal mail.

  If you are registering individuals AND purchasing a Pass, first register the attendees; you will be able to add a Pass on the session selection page (under Additional Items).
• MVC Job Fair: If your company would like to participate in the job fair, but is NOT sending any attendees for the rest of the conference, select this option under the registration type section. Please note, only OVMA members may select this option.
• OVMA President's Reception & Wine Tasting Fundraiser for OAHF: You may sign up for this event without registering for the rest of the Conference. Select this option and specify the number of tickets you wish to purchase on the next page.

Session Registration

The sessions available for the selected registration type will be shown.

• Search for and add attendee’s selected sessions. You may search for sessions by typing a session number in the box at the top, or click “Advanced Search” to narrow the search.
• In Advanced Search, use the Category drop-down to search for a track. You may also search by speaker name (alphabetical by first name) and date/time.
• To add a session, you must click "Add to Agenda" to the right of the session name. Wait until the page reloads before continuing. To make sure you added all the selected sessions, click the link next to the search box at the top. (# Items in Agenda)
• Wet labs and workshops are listed under the "Hands-On Labs & Workshops" category.

Note:

Registering for sessions is optional but strongly encouraged.

Additionally, your selections will automatically transfer to the mobile app and populate your schedule. You may change your selections later if you change your mind (see confirmation email for instructions).
