From December 7 to 11, 2026, the 72nd Annual AAEP Convention & Trade Show, organized by the American Association of Equine Practitioners, will take place in Las Vegas at the Mandalay Bay Convention Resort (Mandalay Bay A, B & C convention rooms).
Recognized as the largest equine veterinary conference in the world, the AAEP Annual Convention brings together thousands of equine veterinarians, interns, students, technicians, and industry professionals for five days of continuing education, networking, and innovation.
The Convention features more than 100 hours of RACE-accredited continuing education, including classroom-style seminars and small, discussion-oriented forums covering a wide range of topics such as lameness, diagnostic imaging, reproduction, infectious diseases, joint therapies, dentistry, and professional development. Hands-on wet labs will provide practical training opportunities in areas including equine rehabilitation, aquatic therapy, pain management modalities, and core strengthening.
The trade show offers direct access to emerging diagnostic technologies, innovative rehabilitation tools, practice management systems, and the professionals shaping the future of equine care. Integrated networking areas, in-hall education theatres, and the central AAEP Connect hub further enhance opportunities for collaboration and exchange.
With both in-person and virtual attendance options, the AAEP Convention 2026 stands as a global reference point for advancing clinical expertise, exploring technological innovation, and strengthening the international equine veterinary community.
