Fetch Coastal is making a 'monumental' move for 2025

dvm360® has announced a change in location for our annual Fetch Coastal conference. In 2025, this Fetch dvm360 conference will heading to the Washington, DC, area on September 12-13, 2025, in National Harbor, Maryland.

In relocating, Fetch Coastal will be leaving Atlantic City, New Jersey, following this year's event on October 14-16. "After many years of hosting our Fetch Coastal conference in the vibrant setting of Atlantic City, I am truly honored to witness and work towards exciting changes that await our learners in Washington, DC, in 2025," Adam Christman, DVM, MBA, chief veterinary officer for dvm360, said. "This transition not only signifies growth for our community of veterinary professionals but also underscores our commitment to fostering innovation and collaboration in the field. We look forward to embracing new opportunities and sharing knowledge in our nation's capital."

The Fetch Coastal conference offers more than 150 continuing education sessions, presented by more than 60 faculty speakers, as well as hands-on labs. These sessions are specifically designed to equip veterinary professionals with the tools and knowledge they need to tackle the most demanding issues in the industry.

Additionally, this year's conference in Atlantic City will feature a block party and special Halloween experiences, while the location affords attendees the opportunity to visit the city's famous Boardwalk and casinos. An abundance of restaurants and retail shops are also available to visitors.

Fetch Coastal attendees can experience our final veterinary conference at the Jersey Shore by registering at event.dvm360.com. Attendees who register between September 10 and September 17 will receive a free, limited edition, farewell t-shirt from dvm360.

The move "from AC to DC" follows the 2023 rebranding of dvm360's Atlantic City conference. Previously known as the Atlantic Coast Veterinary Conference (ACVC), the event was renamed Fetch Coastal, joining a family of 4 other Fetch conferences held each year. The strategic decision to rebrand ACVC brought the Fetch core values of community, collaboration and connections to an event that has been a landmark in the region for about 35 years.

"It has been a busy year for dvm360 and Fetch, planning our very first Fetch Nashville conference and now we are going to DC. It’s bittersweet to leave Atlantic City yet equally as exciting to take the Fetch educational experience to our nation's capital," John Hydrusko, vice president, sales, for MJH Life Sciences, the parent company of dvm360, said. "I couldn’t be more proud of our team for the work everyone does to enable us to continue grow our footprint and educational impact of the veterinary community."
