The CVMA’s Pacific Veterinary Conference (PacVet) brings together veterinary professionals from across California and beyond for high-quality continuing education, networking, and industry connection, all in one place.
Held in Sacramento at the SAFE Credit Union Convention Center on June 18–21, 2026, PacVet is designed to support the entire veterinary team with practical education, flexible attendance options, and opportunities to connect with colleagues and exhibitors. Here are five reasons attendees return to PacVet year after year.
