Beginning in 1995, the North Carolina Veterinary Conference has been the premier continuing education event for veterinarians, veterinary technicians, and practice managers in the Raleigh area. The NCVC offers continuing education lectures for veterinarians and vet techs, approved for CE in 45 states, presented by world-renowned leaders in veterinary medicine. Tracks include small animal, equine, ruminant, practice management, public practice, animal welfare, swine medicine and topics for technicians specializing in small or large animals.
Located in the heart of North Carolina, Raleigh has transformed into a popular destination for visitors and business travelers alike. With a variety of museums, boutique shopping, lively cafe’s, restaurants, and nightlife activities, there is a place for everyone to enjoy their time in the City of Oaks!
The NC Veterinary Conference (NCVC) is always held at the Raleigh Convention Center in downtown Raleigh the first weekend in November (Nov 6-8) with exhibiting hours on Nov 6-7. We offer 100 booth spaces at this conference, which attracts over 1,300 attendees (800+ veterinarians, 200 technicians, 100 practice managers, and faculty/staff/students from NCSU-CVM).
