VSN Expo July 2026: Where Free Veterinary CE Meets Live Vendor Deals

Veterinary professionals juggle a lot: patient care, staff schedules, inventory, and the constant pressure to stay current on CE requirements. Most events force a choice — attend a webinar to earn credits, or browse vendor catalogs to restock the clinic. Rarely both. 

VSN Expo July 2026, powered by DVM Central, is built to close that gap. On July 26, 2026, at 11:00 AM Eastern Time, veterinarians, technicians, and practice managers can log into one free virtual platform, earn RACE-approved CE credit, and shop live deals from trusted veterinary vendors, all without leaving their desk. 

What Is VSN Expo? 

The Veterinary Shopping Network (VSN) Expo is a free virtual event that merges continuing education with real-time vendor shopping. Instead of separating "learning" and "buying" into two different platforms, VSN Expo brings both into a single session, so attendees leave with new clinical knowledge and clinic-ready savings on the same day. 

This July's expo features a CE session led by Dr. Patty A. Lathan, covering the diagnosis and treatment of hypercortisolism (Cushing's disease) in dogs. The session is worth 2 RACE-approved CE credits and dives into two focused topics: 

• Treating Hypercortisolism with Trilostane — covering dosing, administration, monitoring strategies, and the pitfalls of relying solely on ACTH-stimulation testing. 

• Hypercortisolism Diagnostic Tips and Tricks — reviewing less common clinical signs, diagnostic tool accuracy, and differential diagnoses for elevated serum alkaline phosphatase. 

For practitioners managing endocrine cases regularly, this is practical, case-based content they can apply the next morning, not abstract theory. 

Why CE Plus Shopping Actually Matters 

Veterinary teams are stretched thin. Time spent hunting for CE credits is time not spent with patients, and time spent comparing vendor pricing is time not spent learning. VSN Expo's format acknowledges that reality instead of fighting it. 

Attendees who join the live event get access to real-time vendor discounts, coupon codes, and giveaways from participating veterinary suppliers, exclusive to the day of the event. Past VSN Expo events have featured vendors across feeding systems, topical skin care, diagnostics, and everyday clinic essentials, often with limited-time codes that disappear once the event ends. The takeaway is simple: showing up live has a direct dollar value attached to it, not just a certificate. 

Who Should Attend 

VSN Expo is designed for: 

• Veterinarians looking to fulfill CE requirements without blocking out a full day 

• Veterinary technicians who want practical, applicable clinical training 

• Practice managers hunting for vendor deals on recurring clinic supplies 

• Multi-location practice owners consolidating both education and procurement into one calendar block 

Because it's fully virtual, the event is also accessible to international veterinary professionals, though CE credit recognition ultimately depends on each attendee's local licensing board. 

How to Register 

Registration is free and takes just a few minutes. Head to the VSN Expo page on DVM Central and click "Register for Expo" to reserve a spot. Vendor deals and coupon codes are typically live-only and time-limited, so registering ahead of July 26 ensures you don't miss the drop. 

The Bigger Picture: Why Events Like This Are Growing 

Veterinary CE has traditionally lived on dedicated learning platforms, separate from procurement entirely. But as practices face tighter margins and staffing gaps, the appetite for consolidated, time-efficient formats is growing. VSN Expo's model, pairing credentialed education with direct vendor access, reflects a broader shift in how the veterinary industry is rethinking professional development: less time spent switching between platforms, more time spent where it counts. 

DVM Central has positioned itself at the center of that shift, connecting veterinarians with vetted suppliers year-round through its marketplace, while events like VSN Expo give that relationship a live, interactive moment each quarter.
