Dear Friends of Veterinary Medicine,
Sponsorship opportunities for 2008 are now available. The MVMA holds the largest veterinary convention in the Midwest and is one of the top in the country. A dedicated program committee and MVMA staff continue to bring top quality educational speakers to Minnesota as well as a social venue that draws high attendance. In 2008, the MVMA Annual Meeting will be held in the Twin Cities at the Hilton Minneapolis.
