I’ve never exhibited at the MVC. How do I sign up?
Please complete the new exhibitor application to submit your interest. We will review your request and let you know of your approval/denial within two business days. If approved, you will be added to the general exposition mailing list and will receive an email containing information and a link to reserve your booth via email.
Who can exhibit at the MVC? Does my company need approval from the OVMA?
OVMA welcomes companies whose products or services are relevant to the practice of veterinary medicine and animal care.
As hosts of one of the largest and most respected veterinary conventions in North America, we make it our responsibility to verify that our exhibitors are pertinent to our attendees’ needs and adhere to the same high standards that we do. Therefore, we will review your company information upon registering and notify you within two business days of your acceptance.
OVMA reserves the right to deny entry to any company that cannot demonstrate a practical application to veterinary medicine and/or animal care.
How can I check what booth spaces are available and where my competitors are?
View the Exhibit Hall Floor Plan to see what spaces are available and what other companies have already signed up. Only booths that are not sold will show as available. If you are interested in a specific space and are unsure of its status, please contact us before selecting your booth to find out if the space(s) in question is available.
Please note, the OVMA assumes no responsibility for the location of competitors of Exhibitor prior to or after Exhibitor’s space selection.
What are Appreciation Points? How can I find out if I have any?
Appreciation Points are awarded to reflect past support of the MVC, both as an exhibitor and sponsor, and are used in determining your booth selection category. More about Appreciation Points »
If you are a returning exhibitor, your registration invitation email will contain your points balance. You may also contact us directly to inquire.
When can I select my booth?
