GENERA L IN FORMA TION ABOUT THE CONFERENCE The 6th Annual Gulf-Atlantic Veterinary Conference (TGAVC) proudly returns to the Boca Raton Resort & Club, a Waldorf Astoria Resort from December 6 - 9, 2018.

The Boca Raton Resort & Club is a luxurious, iconic venue where attendees can truly experience the difference. Amid the resort’s breathtaking ambiance, TGAVC offers attendees an exceptional educational program, hands-on wet labs and workshops, abundant networking opportunities, social activities, and the latest in veterinary products and technology.

CONTINUING EDUCATION Each 50-minute lecture is equal to one continuing education credit.

The Gulf-Atlantic Veterinary Conference Program offers 293 total hours of CE. Veterinarians may earn a maximum of 27 credit hours, and team members may earn a maximum of 18 credit hours of CE, inclusive of wet labs, at TGAVC. For your convenience in recording your CE hours, one certificate will be included in your registration packet.
