Our Summer Meeting is always held the first weekend in June and generally in Toronto, ON. Our Annual Conference is always held the first weekend in October, the location varies. The format for both of these meeting is 2 1/2 days of lecture sessions, Friday - Sunday. (A full-day of program is usually 6.5 hours and a half-day is usually 3.5 hours.) Please note that we do not accept proposals for our Annual Management Retreat.
Proposals for workshops, panels and lectures should involve issues of importance to veterinary practice managers. Areas of interest include, but are not limited to: Human Resources; Law and Ethics; Marketing; Practice Organization and Management as well as Finance and Budgeting.

The VHMA Education Committee reviews the proposals based on the following questions: How relevant is the content to veterinary practice managers? What is the speaker’s knowledge of the content? What are the speaker’s presentation skills?
The VHMA has a preset expense reimbursement policy for our educational programs. A copy of our expense reimbursement policy is included with the instructions and forms available below.
If you are selected to participate in one of our educational conferences, you will be required to provide a comprehensive handout to be included in our book of proceedings given to each participant.
