Noticed some changes? That’s because we have a new registration system this year! If you need help navigating, follow this step-by-step guide to online registration.

Yes, an email address is required to register online. Furthermore, it must be a unique email address that is not used by or shared with anyone else affiliated with OVMA (e.g., members, exhibitors, past attendees, etc).

If you do not have an email address, do not wish to share your email address, and/or share an email address with someone else, please create a new account for free on Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or any other email provider. Otherwise, you will NOT be able to register.

OVMA Members & Prior Attendees

Use the email address you provided OVMA in the past. If you cannot remember what email we have on file, or you would like to change it, please contact us PRIOR TO beginning your registration. Members will not be able to access discounted registration rates unless they use the email address linked to their membership record.

New Attendees

You may use any email address you wish (it need not be associated with your company or organization), as long as it is not used by any other MVC attendee. This will be the address that is linked to your permanent record, so please be sure to double check spelling and use an email that you check regularly.

No. Each individual must have his/her own unique email address in order to register online. Please ask your hospital to provide an email address just for you, or create a free email account on Google, Yahoo, or any other service provider before registering.

Because it is possible for different individuals to have the same name and even the same mailing address, our system identifies registrants by their email addresses, which are typically used by only one person. This ensures the correct record is linked to the correct person and allows each registrant access to his/her own event history, membership status, and contact information.

Yes, you can. There is an option for Multiple Registrations. If you need help navigating, follow this step-by-step guide to online registration.

Yes. Simply fill out the registration form as if you are the attendee. Do not enter your own information, or the registration will be listed under your name instead of the actual attendee’s.

Absolutely! Simply select the appropriate membership type from the options shown. The registration fees will automatically update to the member price.

If you’re not sure which member category you’re eligible for, visit the OVMA website for more information. Please note, membership is only available to veterinarians and veterinary students.

It doesn’t! Online registration will be open throughout the live MVC, so you can register online before you leave home and proceed directly to the badge printing station upon arrival.

OVMA no longer accepts hard copy registration forms via postal mail or fax. All registrations must be submitted online.

Yes, veterinary, technician, and pre-veterinary students are welcome to attend at a special reduced rate. You are not required to provide proof of your student status.

No. While you do receive free registration as a student member, you need to self-register online in advance or on site in person.

Remember, you MUST use the email address you provided OVMA when you joined; otherwise, you will not be able to access complimentary member registration.
