Group Registration
Before you begin your group registration, you’ll need to take care of some housekeeping. Our new system requires the following to be completed prior to beginning your group registration.
a) Your practice/company must be set up as an organization in our system.
- Check our organization directory to see if yours is already set up.
- If it’s not, please contact us with your company name and address, as well as the name and email of the person you want to assign as your Primary Contact (see section b)
b) Your organization must have a Primary Contact assigned in our database.
“Primary Contact” is a designation in our database that allows an individual to register multiple individuals and pay their registration fees. If your organization does not have a primary contact assigned, please contact us with the following information:
- Your organization name and address
- The individual’s first and last name and email address
c) All employees you plan to register must be linked to your organization.
Staff can be linked in several ways:
- OVMA may have linked them upon import into the new system. Each person can check their profile to see if the organization is listed, or the primary contact can view their complete organization roster. Find out how »
- Individuals can link themselves to organizations upon account creation (step 2 of the account creation process outlined above) or by logging in and editing their profile (instructions here)
- The Primary Contact can add staff in advance (instructions here) or during registration
Note: If your company would like to pay dues on behalf of veterinarians on your staff, please contact OVMA for an invoice.

2. Click on your company name.
3. Click “Register an Attendee.”

Click their name to select them, then proceed to step 5.

You will need to enter their first name, last name, email address, and individual type (vet, tech, etc.). When you are finished, click the “Save” button to add them to your registration.
