ADVERTORIAL
Canine Athletes
in The Spotlight at Virtual Vet Conference
WEBCON2017 is set to become an annual Virtual Veter-
inary Rehabilitation Webinar Conference, following the
success of Dr Megan Kelly’s Onlinepethealth live webinars,
made available to Veterinary Rehabilitation Therapists.
WEBCON2017 is open to Veterinarians, Vet Technicians
and Veterinary Physiotherapists. It will allow attendees to
log in to the virtual conference from the comfort of their
own homes and gain insights from experts in the field
by watching live webinars and interacting with exhibitors.
The theme for WEBCON2017 is the Canine Athlete and
the programme is packed with seven hours of continuing
education. Outstanding leaders in the Veterinary Rehabil-
itation field will deliver the lectures, such as Chris Zink,
award-winning author and internationally acclaimed Ca-
nine Sports Medicine Consultant. Other speakers include
Veterinary Orthopedics and Sports Medicine Veterinarian
Matt Brunke, Carrie Adrian, Director of Physical Therapy
Services for VCA and Deirdre Chiaromonte, Board-certi-
fied Internal Medicine Specialist.
According to Dr Kelly, online virtual conferencing appears
to be the future of education and conferencing. “Not only
does it give people from all over the world access to the
latest knowledge, theories and practices of industry lead-
ers, but it also reduces costs dramatically by eliminating
travel, accommodation and transport expenses, as well
as time away from work,” she says.
“Registered attendees to WEBCON2017 have access to
all the recordings for 30 days after the conference, so
no need to stress if you are on duty that day. In addition,
interactive exhibitor stands allow attendees to text, video
or audio chat, download catalogues and watch product
videos,” concludes Dr Kelly.
The WEBCON2017 exhibitor list include Orthopets Unit-
ed, Respond Systems, Toto Fit, Aquatread underwater
treadmills, Assisi Animal Health, Equilibrium Veterinary
Physiotherapy University and many more.
