“Utilization, Preparation, & Negotiation”

January 11-13th, 2025 – The Royal Sonesta, New Orleans

Year five of the EPIC Symposium brings five faces – some new, some familiar – to what is becoming the best business- focused meeting in the equine veterinary industry.

Not only is John Chalk back by popular demand; to accommodate the numerous requests from key staff to access his wealth of wisdom, he has tailored a session on personal wealth planning for that audience. Former EPIC Board Member, Dr. Robert “Bob” Magnus of Oculus Insights also joins us this year to help navigate your numbers and use your financials to better manage your practice. Boehringer Ingelheim is bringing Dr. Julie Settlage to discuss five major strategies to effectively engage in conflict. We are thrilled to be joined by an industry guru of negotiation, Gail Berger, to share her insights to effectively negotiate in any situation (spoiler alert – not just your inventory contracts). Finally, Deb Reeder will share guidelines on technician utilization and the importance of timely and accurate medical records.

As always, we’ll be joined by many of the preferred partners you will see featured in the pages that follow. We are extremely grateful for their support in hosting this event, and the incredible opportunity it provides for networking as well as personal and business development. We can’t wait to share more about this event in the weeks and months to follow, but in the meantime, click the links below to reserve your hotel room and register for the meeting.

This event is open to EPIC Cooperative Members only. Login or sign up today!
