Are you ready for the Fetch dvm360® Kansas City Block Party?

Kansas City

Network and unwind at our welcome reception at Bar K, an expansive dog and people park that includes a restaurant, beer garden, and musical entertainment

Live events are back, and dvm360® is leading the charge against “death by PowerPoint” by bringing fun and excitement to continuing education (CE). In July, we unveiled dvm360® Unleashed!, a 1-of-a- kind gamified CE experience debuting at Fetch Kansas City. This month, we’re introducing the Fetch dvm360® Kansas City Block Party, an event sponsored by Purina. The party will be held on Friday, August 26, 2022, from 7 pm to 10 pm at Bar K in Kansas City, Missouri.

Bar K is a unique, indoor/outdoor dog and people park. Registered Fetch conference attendees can enjoy “yappy hour” at Bar K’s buffet, patio bar, and beer garden at no addi- tional charge. Veterinary industry professionals can network or relax in Bar K’s lounge, with live musical entertainment. During the event, attendees have access to the venue’s 3000-sq ft outdoor off-leash play area, Petfinder Park. And of course, canine companions are invited, too!

Upon arrival, guests will receive a dvm360®/Bar K welcome packet that includes a 2-drink ticket, information about Bar K and sponsors, and Bar K swag. Conveniently located just 10 minutes from the Kansas City Convention Center, free shuttle transportation to and from Bar K will be provided. Shuttles will be running round trips between the venue and convention center every 30 minutes for the duration of the event.

An advanced RSVP and completed waiver are required for entry and are due by Friday, August 19, 2022. The RSVP and waiver web links are being emailed to all Fetch Kansas City Conference registrants. After completing the RSVP and waiver form, attendees will receive a mobile text message containing
a barcode that will be required for entry.

Join us at the Fetch dvm360® Kansas City Block Party on Friday, August 26, 2022, from 7:00 pm to 10:00 pm. Register for the Fetch dvm360® Conference at https://bit.ly/FetchKC2022
