About VetForum USA
VetForum USA is OpenRoom Events' two-day hosted event for US veterinary groups and the vendors that serve them. Practice and hospital-network leaders attend panels, workshops and discussions on the challenges facing US veterinary practices, alongside pre-scheduled meetings with vendors of clinical, operational and technology solutions.
VetForum USA 2027
VetForum USA runs September 22–23, 2027 at the Omni Las Colinas in the Dallas area of Texas. The organiser, OpenRoom Events (part of CloserStill Media), describes it as "an event for Vet Groups throughout the USA, providing important content, strategic sourcing and unforgettable networking."
What it is
VetForum is a hosted meeting format rather than an open exhibition. Veterinary groups attend as guests: they get a two-day programme of panels, workshops and discussions on the challenges and opportunities facing US veterinary practices, plus pre-scheduled meetings with vendors covering clinical, operational and technological solutions. The organiser says two nights at the hotel, with all meals, drinks and networking functions, are hosted.
For vendors
Vendor participation is paid and limited to companies whose offerings meet the sector's current needs. Vendors get pre-arranged meetings and networking with senior decision-makers from veterinary practices and hospital networks, around priorities such as clinical innovation, practice growth and efficiency.
Good to know
- Vet groups request an invitation; vendors apply separately.
- The 2027 programme is still being built; the organiser shows the 2026 speakers in the meantime.
- OpenRoom also runs VetForum Europe, in Sitges, Spain, on 4–5 May 2027.
Key Topics
