"The ACVIM forum offers incredible opportunities to VTS technicians and those pursuing additional training and opportunities on many levels!"
"Attending the ACVIM Forum was a deep dive into new knowledge—exhausting in the best possible way! The breadth and depth of information shared left me with several new insights. One of the highlights was reconnecting with colleagues whom I only have the pleasure of seeing at the Forum. The exhibitors were another standout feature this year. I found some innovative solutions that promise to enhance patient care and streamline our workflow. Finally, as a proud diplomate for over 30 years, witnessing colleagues receive well-deserved awards was particularly gratifying. It's a testament to their commitment and contributions to our profession, and it was a joy to celebrate their achievements together. Overall, the ACVIM Forum exceeded my expectations once again."
