Where Innovation Meets Veterinary Care: Veterinary IT Services Platinum Sponsor at LVS 2025
About The Modern Veterinary Practice Theatre:
The veterinary profession is undergoing rapid transformation driven by technology, evolving client expectations, and shifting workforce dynamics. The pandemic accelerated digital adoption, while artificial intelligence, staff shortages, and growing caseloads are reshaping daily practice. Change is no longer approaching, it has arrived, and the challenge now lies in shaping it into something sustainable, ethical, and empowering for veterinary teams.
No single professional can define this future alone. Real progress depends on collaboration across disciplines, practice models, and industries. Educators, researchers, technologists, and business leaders must unite to build a profession that embraces and thrives on change. This is the purpose of the Modern Veterinary Practice Theatre: a forum created to connect diverse voices and ignite the conversations that drive meaningful, lasting progress.
Along with the new theatre layout, for the first time, the MVPT theatre will have a live podcast recording where the audience can join the conversation, ask questions in real time, and help shape the discussion beyond the event. Additionally, the addition of Lightning talks with dynamic, thought-provoking talks to spark fresh ideas and inspire action. The theatre will be infused with fresh energy, interactivity, and a true sense of community, join us for something truly different!
