UC Davis Veterinary Specialty Symposium - AggieVET Southern California

CONFERENCE EXPERIENCE

Quality Continuing Education: Attendees will benefit from high-quality continuing education sessions led by experts in the field.

Inspiring Coastal Setting: Hosted in beautiful San Diego, this conference combines world-class education with a vibrant coastal atmosphere. Known for its stunning beaches, year-round sunshine, and relaxed Southern California charm, San Diego offers the perfect backdrop for professional growth and connection. When you’re not in sessions, explore the historic Gaslamp Quarter, stroll along the waterfront, visit the renowned San Diego Zoo, or enjoy the city’s diverse dining scene and cultural attractions. For local activities, dining, and attractions, visit https://www.sandiego.org/.

Food and Refreshments: Breakfast, coffee, and tea will be provided each morning, and lunch with beverages will be served each afternoon to keep you energized throughout the day. If you have specific dietary restrictions, please consider bringing your own meal. The San Diego Humane Society campus is vegetarian-only, so we kindly ask that any outside food follows this policy. Attendees with additional dietary restrictions may also consider bringing their own meals.

Climate & Attire: San Diego offers a mild, comfortable climate year-round. Expect daytime temperatures typically ranging from the mid-60s to mid-70s °F, with cooler evenings near the coast. Business casual attire is appropriate for conference sessions, and a light sweater or jacket is recommended for air-conditioned meeting spaces and evening outings.
