Fetch Charlotte Veterinary Conference

Fetch Charlotte Veterinary Conference

March 14-16, 2025

Veterinary CE gets back to its roots.

Meet us in Charlotte, where heritage and discovery unite, for the exciting first chapter of Fetch 2025—the veterinary CE conference that educates and inspires you like no other.

It’s 3 sensational days of events! Jumpstart each morning with an energizing keynote by stars of animal health, Dr. Joya Griffin and Dr. Philip Bergman. Then come together, alongside veterinarians and vet techs from all walks of life, for your choice of diverse, interactive sessions across 40+ educational tracks. Share your love of learning with world-class faculty leading 180+ CE hours of clinical, management, technician, wellness courses and more.

Plus, we’re thrilled to be in Charlotte as we unveil Fetch’s first-ever CPR lab, dermatology lab, and brand-new CE track for practice owner success.

After hours and in between, make the most of an up-and-coming locale fusing nature and modernity! Hike, bike and commune with an open country in early spring throughout nearby parks and preserves.  Zoom through the NASCAR Hall of Fame, explore the Sullenberger Aviation Museum, and connect with the history of the region at the city’s many sights and museums.

Fetch Charlotte is where you’ll find strategies and skills, new friends, and fresh insights you need to live your best life in and out of the practice.
