We are thrilled to be returning to Zion in 2024 for 14 hours of Continuing Education amongst the striking landscapes of one of America's most beautiful National Parks. Zion in Autumn is a wonder to behold.

The Education

14 hours of approved CE will be available in Small Animal Dermatology and Ophthalmology. Our esteemed speakers are Dr. Paul Bloom Diplomate ACVD, DABVP and Dr. Gia Klauss Diplomate ACVO. Each are not only outstanding teachers, but also active clinicians in practice. You can learn more about our speakers here.

The Location

Our conference hotel the Marriott is less than a mile from the main park entrance. It is a really nice place and if you want to stay on site we have a discounted room block held for our attendees at 259/night. If you want to keep it simple, there is even a free National Parks shuttle that picks you up in front of our hotel to shuttle you to and from all of the major trailheads in the park as well as the visitors center. It couldn't be easier to unwind and learn. You are welcome to stay anywhere you like of course, but we think it feels more like a vacation when you can walk from your quarters to a hot free breakfast and then a few more steps to some great education.

If you are wondering, the view from the fireplace in the pictures above is from the back patio of our hotel.

Your Vacation

Our lecture schedule is designed to give you plenty of time each day to unwind and enjoy your vacation in Zion National Park.  We believe that the relaxed mind is a more focused mind, and that the more focused mind is more apt to learn and retain. The conference will begin at 3pm on Thursday October 10th and the final hour of CE will be done by noon on Sunday the 13th. You will have plenty of free time to enjoy the area. For those who would like to join, we will also be getting together for two social events. Early fall is our favorite time of year here. Temperatures are perfect and the colors are at their best. The flow of the Virgin River is light at this time of year making for fantastic hiking through the famous Narrows. Zion in Autumn may just be the best time you will ever have at work.

Etc.

The most convenient airport is Las Vegas (LAS). It is a beautiful 2.5 hour drive and flights to LAS and rental cars from there tend to be priced favorably.  There is also an airport in St. George, Utah (SGU) that is 50 minutes away.  The Salt Lake City airport (SLC) is about a 4 hour drive. If you wanted to not have a car, there are private shuttles that can get you from the Las Vegas airport to Springdale - and once in Springdale there are free shuttles into the park.

We look forward to seeing you there!
