GeniusVets Hosts Its Veterinary Ownership Symposium at Wild West Vet 2024

The Symposium at Wild West Vet will feature five specifically curated content sessions, each aimed at addressing specific challenges faced by practice owners.

SAN DIEGO, CA, USA, August 9, 2024 /EINPresswire.com/ — GeniusVets, a leading pet health information and veterinary marketing platform, is proud to host its highly impactful education series, the Veterinary Practice Ownership Symposium, on Thursday, October 17, 2024, from 7:30 AM to 5:30 PM, at the Peppermill Resort Hotel in Reno, Nevada, as part of the Wild West Vet conference.

GeniusVets hosted the first-ever Veterinary Practice Ownership Symposium at the Western Veterinary Conference (WVC) in February 2022, and it was an instant success and crowd favorite. This Symposium has now become a regular annual event at WVC and had featured key industry leaders including Dr. Michele Drake, Founder of The Drake Center for Veterinary Care and Co-Founder and Chief Veterinary Officer of GeniusVets, Dr. Rena Carlson, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association (AVMA), Dr. Mark Thompson, CCRP, President of the American Animal Hospital Association (AAHA), Matt Salois, president of VMG, and many more. These speakers discuss their first-hand experiences, their insights addressing top industry challenges, and trending topics in veterinary business management.

Drawing on over 30 years of experience as a practice owner, Dr. Drake noticed a distinct gap in typical industry events: there was very little content specifically designed for practice owners. Dr. Drake made it her personal mission to bring an enhanced education specifically designed for them. “Practice management sessions are important,” said Dr. Drake, “but owners have unique needs. It’s lonely at the top, and we face our own stresses. We need to constantly monitor industry trends and adjust our practices to remain successful,” Dr. Drake said.

“We need to continue recruiting well, creating great workplaces, and providing excellent veterinary care while also running a business,” Dr. Drake continued. “To address these needs, we created a symposium, lasting from half a day to a full day. This symposium provides information specifically geared towards owners, though associate DVMs, practice managers and staff are also welcome to attend. Our goal is to let owners know that we are thinking about them and their needs, while connecting them with proven industry leaders who can help them strengthen their businesses.”

The Symposium at Wild West Vet will feature five specifically curated content sessions, each aimed at addressing specific challenges faced by veterinary practice owners, including growing their practices, enhancing profitability, and making informed decisions about the future of their businesses. Following the sessions, attendees can enjoy a happy hour and network with over 200 fellow attendees who share similar journeys and challenges.
