After much discussion and careful deliberation, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel AVMA Convention 2020 (July 31-August 4) as an in-person event in San Diego, CA, as well as the Cannabis Symposium and other meetings related to the convention.


All registrations will be cancelled on your behalf. All registration fees will be fully refunded within 90 days. There is no further action needed on your part. The current situation has caused a significant backlog and we will be processing individual refunds as quickly as possible. We kindly ask for your patience during this time.

For airline bookings, please follow up with your travel agent or air carrier directly. If you booked your hotel outside the AVMA block you’ll need to follow up with the hotel directly.

We appreciate your understanding, patience and support as we work through the process.

If you have any questions regarding the convention, please contact us at convention@avma.org or 800.248.2862

While we're disappointed that we had to cancel our Convention, we're exploring virtual conference options as an alternative meeting. We'll be sending more details about that in the coming weeks. We're also looking forward to the AVMA Convention returning stronger than ever to Minneapolis in 2021.

We encourage you to visit avma.org/Coronavirus to keep up to date on the latest COVID-19 information, as well as tools and resources to help you, your team, and your practice during this time.

The AVMA Convention Housing website is closed.

Your deposit, if applicable, will be fully refunded within 90-days. The refund will be made in the same form that the payment was made. The current situation has caused a significant backlog and we will be processing individual refunds as quickly as possible. We kindly ask for your patience during this time. Once your refund has been processed you will receive an email confirming this. There is no further action required on your part.
