Can’t-Miss AVMF Events at the Convention 

We are hard at work caring for animals every day. Since 1963, the 

AVMF has helped train and equip veterinarians for disasters; supported 

animal health studies on the causes, treatment and prevention of fatal 

and infectious diseases; and funded veterinary education through 

scholarships and grants. Don’t miss our events during convention. 

A TASTE OF 

CHICAGO 

at the Shedd Aquarium 

 

The exclusive outdoor Stingray exhibit will be open for this private 

event. Watch out for anacondas, piranhas, sea turtles, Jellies, 

beluga whales and more during an exclusive tour through the 

Chicago’s famous Shedd Aquarium. Experience all the food that 

has made Chicago famous. 

Our Oath in Action 

 

Show your support in two different ways this year 

with this growing Our Oath in Action program. 

At Convention 

While at convention, volunteer your time to help out a local 

Chicago animal shelter by assembling adoption bags. Join 

your colleagues for the presentation to the Chicago animal 

shelter inside the exhibit hall later that afternoon. 

At Home 

In October, this program will move to fi ve states across 

 

community events will be held on “Make a Difference Day.”

leaves off. Diversity Symposium attendees will gain a better understanding of the tools available to 

reach potential untapped client populations; best practices for recruiting, hiring, and retaining culturally 

competent employees for the 21st century; and the link between cultural competency and improved 

animal health care. A final audience interactive panel discussion will allow speakers and participants 

alike to share additional resources to help grow your veterinary practice through diversity, inclusion, 

and cultural competency.
