EVENING OF EXCELLENCE
April 21, 2023
6:00 p.m.

The Evening of Excellence during Annual Conference is a night of celebration where we recognize and honor veterinarians, team members, pets, and citizens who have contributed to the advancement and protection of the veterinary profession in Florida.

Our Annual Awards ceremony is a highly esteemed occasion where deserving members and friends of the profession are honored in the presence of their distinguished families, friends, and peers.

The ceremony is followed by the official installation of new FVMA officers and the graduation ceremony of the current Power of Ten class. As we celebrate the exceptional young leaders who make the Power of Ten program possible every year, we also induct the upcoming class who will carry on the program’s mission. Join us in recognizing the exceptional contributions of these individuals!

WINE TOSS
April 20-22, 2023

Visit the exhibit hall and try your luck at our wine toss booth! Throw a ring onto a bottle of wine and if you can land the ring on the bottle, you get to take it home.

All proceeds from our wine toss game benefit the FVMA Foundation. The foundation maintains a scholarship fund to support the studies of Florida veterinary medical and veterinary technician students—awarding nearly $20,000 in student scholarships annually, benefits disaster relief efforts across the state, animal medicine research, the FVMA Power of Ten leadership program, and much more.
