The selection spans small animal practice, equine, food animal, and pet industry retail, spread across the state from Newberry to West Palm Beach. The Ocala Equine Conference in February draws practitioners focused on performance and sport horse medicine, while the Emerald Coast Veterinary Conference runs nearly a full week in late May for those who want deeper clinical programming alongside CE hours. Phillips Buying Shows in August skews toward product sourcing and vendor relationships, which matters if you're building out a clinic retail operation. Whether you're planning travel budgets, scouting continuing education, or timing outreach around when buyers are actually in the room, the date and location details here give you a practical starting point.
