The Midwest Veterinary Conference (MVC), hosted by the Ohio Veterinary Medical Association (OVMA), is a growing, regional veterinary conference packed with educational, networking and social opportunities for every member of the veterinary team. Bringing together highly regarded experts from around the world and hundreds of industry vendors, the MVC is a national-caliber conference—at a Midwest price.
Veterinarians, technicians/nurses, hospital staff, shelter personnel, and other animal care professionals in all fields of veterinary medicine attend the MVC. For more information on our attendees, please see the About page.
The live, in-person portion of the MVC is held at the Greater Columbus Convention Center, Hall A (400 N. High St., Columbus, Ohio 43215 – map) and the Hyatt Regency Hotel (350 N. High St., Columbus, Ohio 43215 – map).
Visit the Travel & Hotels page for driving directions and parking information.
The OVMA reserves blocks of discounted rooms at area hotels for MVC attendees. Visit the Travel section for hotel contact information, rates and other travel details as it becomes available.
We love them as much as you, but Convention Center regulations and health department codes prohibit pets. In keeping with the law, only assistance animals are permitted. Please help us not disappoint your pet by making them have to go home early!
OVMA strongly encourages attendees to be fully vaccinated prior to the conference, but it is not required at this time. Learn more »
Currently, the city of Columbus has a mask mandate in place, but that may change. We will notify attendees of any requirements in February. Learn more »
