Roo’s Upcoming Events in October 2024

Roo Team
September 26, 2024

There’s nothing more important to us than the veterinary community, and here at Roo, we’re always looking to give back. That’s why we’re constantly hosting free veterinary CE events and sponsoring even more CE opportunities through various local veterinary organizations. You’ll also find us at every vet conference under the sun!

I know what you’re thinking: “Wow, that’s a lot of events!” I know! This year, we’ve made an effort to add a lot more free Roo CE events to support our incredible community. We’ve also added a ton of happy hours because those are just a lot of fun for everyone. But it is a lot to sort through soooooo…

Event Posts have gotten a new look! All our great Roo events are now organized by individual CE Events, Vet Med Conferences, and Happy Hours. Hoping this helps you find what you’re looking for faster!
