MVC was a life-changing experience.
My passion has only grown after attending this conference, and I am now pursuing a bachelor's in criminal justice. I am going to continue my education until I can do everything I can to help animals in need. The speakers I had, honestly, changed my life.

I have been to this conference almost every year since I discovered it about 20 years ago. In my opinion, it rates higher than national conferences.

I cannot thank you enough for having an affordable conference with excellent content. I come every year. Thank you for all you do and see you next year!

It’s just a real good meeting. I’ve been to Vegas (it’s too big) and Colorado (no real options). Midwest is like Goldilocks: Just right!

I liked the variety of the topics offered.
As someone who is mixed animal / companion animal, I had plenty of options. I also appreciated that the topics were varied in skillset and not at such a “high level” that it wouldn’t be practical knowledge for me.

I LOVED IT!
I did not need to close my clinic down to attend; my techs and I were able to see appointments around the sessions. I did not need to choose between several sessions that were equally valuable or interesting—I was able to attend all of them!
