Roo’s Upcoming Events in January 2025

Roo Team

December 30, 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!

Happy new year… of Roo Events! We can’t wait to go even bigger in 2025 with more CE (coming soon, stay tuned) and Happy Hours than ever before. I know we say this every year, but we don’t mess around when it comes to giving back to the community. This month we’ll be going big at VMX, our first veterinary conference of the year, and we’ve got a sprinkling of happy hours in the Pacific Northwest to kick 2025 off right. Let’s hop!

Veterinary Conferences

Looking to get a bunch of CE in one go? Or do you just really like free stuff? Roo’s got free stuff, stop by our booth. We even do expedited on-site sign-ups at veterinary conferences if you’re new to Roo and looking to get started.

VMX: Veterinary Meeting & Expo

Registration

This is it! The top veterinary conference of the year coming hot out of the gate in 2025. If you’ve never been to VMX before, it truly is an experience. There’s no better conference to network with your fellow veterinary professionals, plus it’s a pretty good excuse to spend a day or three at Disney World.

Did you know that VMX attendees can save money on flights, rental cars, and more? Check out the Travel Page on the VMX website for all sorts of discount codes. Don't forget, if you work relief you can usually write those expenses off on your taxes for even more savings.

Roo is going big this year so be sure to stop by our booth — you really can’t miss it, just look up. We’ll have a photo booth, airbrush tattoos, AI cartoon print-outs, and more. And if you plan on attending, make sure you don’t miss our:
