21st Annual Minnesota Animal Welfare Conference

Tuesday, June 11, 2024

Meeting the Needs of Pets & People in the Animal Welfare Field

Tuesday, June 11, 2024

The Minnesota Animal Welfare Conference is an annual educational and networking opportunity for companion animal welfare professionals, volunteers, vet techs, and veterinarians. Hosted by Tri-County Humane Society in St. Cloud, MN, this conference features highly accredited speakers from across the nation. Join over 100 animal welfare professionals and veterinarians from the Midwest and beyond for a unique opportunity to learn together—with each other, and from each other. If you work or volunteer in the companion animal welfare and/or veterinary field, you won’t want to miss this great opportunity!

Approved for 2 hours CE for veterinarians and vet techs attending.

Because shelter medicine best practices are ever-evolving, this conference is once again FREE TO ALL VETERINARIANS.

We are able to waive the fee for veterinarians and keep the registration fee for all others at an affordable price, thanks to a special grant obtained through the ASPCA Northern Tier Shelter Initiative.
