In addition, the veterinary nursing theater, new for 2018, covered both clinical education and career guidance for today's rapidly changing veterinary industry. All sessions offered attendees high?quality education in energizing, interactive'formats.

"What a phenomenal 2 days this has been," said Elizabeth Green, Brief Media CEO and founder.'"We are thrilled by the overwhelming response and have been so encouraged by the community spirit and dedication displayed by our attendees, speakers, and partners who are striving for the betterment of the veterinary industry. We look forward to welcoming these leaders and learners back to New York next year, or even to Chicago or'Reno."

"Everyone at New York Vet is dedicated to supporting veterinary teams across the country by providing high-quality continuing education at a reasonable price, and this year's event really highlighted the best-in-show for our market," said Stephen Knowles, New York Vet event director. "Fantastic turnout and engagement from veterinary practice teams, outstanding speakers, great vendors, and a warm, community spirit made this a truly special event. We look forward to seeing everyone in New York for next year's event, if not before at one of our other Vet'Shows."

The event's innovative layout allowed for a continuous flow between the exhibition hall and sessions, creating a truly unique learning and networking'experience.

"I've been to [other conferences] year after year and it's just a lot of sitting, day after day. Here [the event] is only 2 days, and I got all of the CE I need," said Maija Curtis, DVM, an attendee at New York Vet 2018. "It's a really great event. I've already spoken with my husband about when we're coming next year, especially with the new'locations."
