Fetch Kansas City 2026 expands CE options with shorter sessions

Version 1

Fetch dvm360’s Kansas City conference is set for August 28–30, 2026, at the Kansas City Convention Center, with organizers promoting up to 20 continuing education credits across more than 45 learning tracks. This year’s program adds new 30-minute sessions worth 0.5 CE credits, alongside longer lectures, hands-on orthopedic labs, and keynote presentations from Brian A. Scansen on cardiology, Michael Lappin on feline infectious disease, and Michael C. Petty on artificial intelligence in pain management. The official registration page says the meeting is pending RACE approval and currently lists 17 standard CE hours, with sponsored meals bringing the total available to 20. (dvm360.com)

Why it matters: For veterinary professionals, the change is less about headline CE volume than format. Shorter sessions can make it easier to sample emerging topics, build a more customized schedule, and fit education around team, clinical, and management interests in one meeting. The mix of cardiology, feline medicine, pain management, and orthopedic labs also suggests Fetch is continuing to position Kansas City as a practical, cross-disciplinary CE stop for veterinarians, technicians, and practice leaders.

What to watch: Watch for the final agenda and RACE-approval status as dvm360 continues to add faculty and sessions ahead of the late-August meeting. (registration.dvm360.com)
