VISIT BOOTH #1205

Welcome to

As a fellow veterinarian, it is my privilege to welcome you all to the historic, inaugural WVC Nashville. This week holds an incredibly profound meaning for me, as it occurs during my year serving as your Viticus Group Board President. I cannot think of a more powerful way to kick off this journey than by standing alongside this extraordinary community as we launch our second home in Music City.

When we envisioned what this expansion would mean for veterinary continuing education, we knew it had to go beyond traditional lectures. True innovation is about transformation. It’s about creating a learning environment where you can step up to a surgical or diagnostic station, look over your shoulder at a worldclass instructor and gain the exact muscle memory and confidence you need to elevate your clinical capabilities and apply them immediately in practice.

I personally credit the WVC conference and Viticus Group’s hands-on training for the elevated skills acquired through those educational experiences. They have shaped my approach to patient care throughout my career.

We designed WVC Nashville to be a dynamic week of top-tier education and the collaborative energy that defines this incredible city. It is a space where creativity meets veterinary medicine, and where we, from early-career to seasoned colleagues, can gather to recharge, inspire one another and push the boundaries of what is possible in this industry.

Serving in this Board President role, my commitment to you is that we will never stop evolving, refining and elevating the ways we support your practice and your passion. As we kick off this inaugural event, I want to stress that this is only the beginning. Together, we are writing the next great chapter in global veterinary continuing education.

Thank you for being here, thank you for your dedication to your patients and welcome to WVC Nashville!

With Gratitude,

Brian Darrow, DVM 2026 Board President | Viticus Group

TUESDAY, AUG. 18 ONLY | FULL CONFERENCE REGISTRATION

* You've got 24 hours to get this special full conference registration pricing. Unite your team to get your WVC Vegas experience at the lowest price of the season!

Welcome to the Main Stage!

This moment has been years in the making…and WE. ARE. HERE. I would like to be the first to officially welcome you to WVC Nashville! On behalf of the Viticus Group team, I thank you for being a significant part of our history – I am here with an immensely grateful and prideful heart, an electric energy and a vision set on elevating veterinary continuing education for years to come.

For nearly a century, our roots have been deeply planted in the Las Vegas desert. Today, for the first time in Viticus Group history, we have expanded our footprint outside of Nevada to plant more roots in the vibrant and soulful Music City and we are thankful that you are with us during this monumental milestone.

We are fortunate to reach this point in our journey and it is only possible with the support of our participants, partners, exhibitors, colleagues, Board of Directors and the Viticus Group team. Each of you are healthcare pioneers who chose to go on this adventure together and we are deeply humbled by your confidence. It is never lost on us that you highly value your learning and education, and trust us to deliver an experience so useful, unforgettable and powerful that you take time to step away from your practices and families. For that, I profusely thank you

While our beautiful sights now include the Las Vegas Strip and the neon lights of Broadway, our true north remains the same: We are laser-focused on our Mission to provide innovative education to veterinary and human healthcare worldwide. Nashville is literally new territory for Viticus Group and we will continue to seek and support all veterinary professionals in this part of the country and beyond by making our continuing education offerings more accessible than ever. Along with the additional WVC Nashville conference, our new state-of-the-art Viticus Group Nashville Education Centers are located just 15 minutes away from Music City Center, where we offer yearround, hands-on training specializing in wet labs.

At Viticus Group, we are always thinking about what’s next. We are constantly looking at the horizon, dreaming up new ways to support your professional journey and advance veterinary medicine. The energy in Nashville is just a preview of the incredible future we are building together. Thank you for making history with us this week. Dive into the labs, absorb the lectures, connect with your peers and enjoy every moment of this beautiful city. The best is truly yet to come.

Get Confident. Get Connected. Go All In! Welcome to WVC Nashville.

Respectfully Rooted in Education,

Andrea Davis Chief Executive Officer | Viticus Group

An easy solution for treating feline hyperthyroidism.

Discover Felanorm® (methimazole) Oral

Solution, the only easy-to-give, FDAapproved liquid solution for cats that offers efficacy and precise dosing in a tasty honey-flavored formulation.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION: Felanorm® (methimazole) Oral Solution: As with all methimazole products, wear protective single use, impermeable (e.g., latex or nitrile) gloves when administering the solution. The most commonly reported side effects in cats are anorexia, vomiting, head/facial pruritus or edema, depression/lethargy, weight loss, anemia, elevated liver enzymes, skin lesions, elevated BUN, diarrhea, and thrombocytopenia. In some reported cases, the patients recovered after adverse reactions were recognized, the drug was withdrawn, and veterinary care was applied. Methimazole has antivitamin K activity and may induce bleeding diathesis without evidence of thrombocytopenia. Not for use in pregnant or lactating queens. Not for use in cats with primary renal or hepatic failure, autoimmune disease, or with hematological disorders (see the full prescribing information for additional details). For full prescribing information, contact VIRBAC at 1-800-338-3659 or visit vet-us.virbac.com/.
