NVMA VetAI Forum
September 17-19, 2026 | Lincoln, NE
Lincoln Marriott Cornhusker Hotel
For 2026, the Nebraska VMA is introducing the VetAI Forum, a forward-looking event taking the place of this year’s Summer Meeting. Built on the foundation of past meetings, this updated format focuses on where veterinary medicine is headed and how technology is shaping the future of practice.
What to Expect
Exploring Ethical, Real-World AI for Veterinary Practices. The VetAI Forum is designed for veterinary teams asking:What should I be paying attention to, and how do I actually apply it in my practice?
This is a conference focused on practical use, thoughtful discussion, and real-world application. Sessions will explore how emerging tools can support veterinary teams, strengthen decision-making, and improve the client experience without losing the human side of care.
Event Highlights
- Practical, real-world applications of AI in veterinary practice
- Discussions around ethics, responsibility, and compliance

- NVMA Career Social connecting employers, job seekers, and students
- Annual tailgate experience built around Husker game day
