Why Attend
The animal health ecosystem is going through a digital transformation, as disruptive tools reshape the way we think about the prevention and prediction of disease. Innovators are disrupting the industry with digital solutions that have the capacity to enhance on-farm productivity, maximize profitability and improve efficiency. On the companion animal side, the ‘millenialization’ of pet ownership has resulted in a demand for digital solutions that directly connect the pet owner with the clinic. With 30% of pet owners not visiting vet clinics, practitioners are being forced to adopt solutions that are designed to improve the pet-owner/vet relationship and tackle the longstanding issue of compliance.
The Digital Veterinary Summit in Boston will bring together 200 executives from across the animal health and veterinary industry, to examine the sector’s digital trends and dynamics, and showcase some of the most exciting new technologies.
Our focus will be across three key areas – digital and tech solutions for pet owners, precision livestock management systems and digital technology for veterinary practice.
Who Will Be There
DIGITAL TECHONOLOGY SHOWCASE
12 digital veterinary technology innovators, handpicked by the prestigious organizing committee, introduce themselves and their technology on the main stage in a quickfire round of presentations.
The Showcase will be divided into two distinguishable sections: Companies presenting with Companion Animal Focused Technology and companies with Livestock/Production Animal Focused Technology.
Types of companies include but are not limited to:
- Companion Animal Digital Technology (telemedicine, telehealth, reminder applications, trackers, wearables, platform market places, etc.)
- Livestock/Production Animal Digital Technology (monitoring devices, identification devices, trackers, wearables, remote sensors, digital cameras, microphones, environmental sensors, etc.)
Each company will have the chance to deliver a 7-minute presentation on the main stage, and 3 minutes will be reserved to take 2-3 audience questions.
