ZEN DEN Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday Symposium Hours A quiet zone for any registered attendee. It is meant to create peace, tranquility and focus. The type of break we could all use, right? The purpose of having a separate room for this is to provide our attendees an escape and a chance to hang out away from meetings for a bit. No talking, food or drink allowed.
Join us in Fort Worth for the third annual SWVS Veterinary Technician Case Report Challenge.

We are looking for unique and interesting case management and nursing care scenarios. No limitation to species or case type. EVERYONE IS WELCOME! Submitted cases must be reviewed by a DVM or board-certified specialist to ensure quality and should be from one year prior to submission. A committee will review case outlines to determine who will be selected to present their case report at SWVS. Candidates will be evaluated on the unique qualities of their case, presentation quality, ability to present within the allotted time, and Q&A performance. A judging panel will select the winner of the challenge who will be awarded a special prize.
