WVC Vegas 2027 Exhibit Booth Builder — Interior Today LLC | Custom Veterinary Trade Show Stands Las Vegas

The Western Veterinary Conference — known across the veterinary profession as WVC Vegas — is one of the largest and most respected annual veterinary conferences in the world. Organized by Viticus Group (formerly known as WVC, Inc.), it brings together over 21,000 veterinary professionals — DVMs, veterinary technicians, practice managers, and veterinary business decision-makers — every February at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada.

WVC Vegas is not simply a trade show. It is the full professional development event for the veterinary community — combining one of North America’s most comprehensive veterinary continuing education programs (900+ hours of CE available) with a major veterinary products and services exposition. The result is an event where buyers arrive with clinical education as their primary goal and product evaluation as an active priority across the full conference week.

For veterinary product manufacturers, pharmaceutical companies, veterinary technology providers, practice management software vendors, animal health companies, and veterinary services firms, WVC Vegas 2027 is the most concentrated, most motivated, most qualified veterinary buyer audience assembled anywhere in the United States each year.

Your exhibition stand at WVC Vegas 2027 is your brand’s live headquarters at that event. At Interior Today LLC, we design and build custom veterinary trade show booths and exhibition stands for companies exhibiting at the Western Veterinary Conference in Las Vegas. We manage everything from first design concept through final teardown at Mandalay Bay.

900+ CE hours drives sustained attendance	Attendees are at the convention center all day, every day — maximum exhibit floor exposure
6 in-hall learning hubs draw traffic to the floor	Education happens inside the exhibit hall — attendees flow naturally through exhibitor spaces
3 food stations inside the exhibit hall	Attendees eat breakfast and lunch on the exhibit floor — longer dwell time near booths
WVC’s 90+ year legacy and brand authority	Exhibiting associates your brand with the most trusted name in western veterinary education

Exhibit Hall Features — Learning Hubs, Food, and Services

WVC Vegas 2027’s exhibit hall is not just a product display floor. It is a complete experience environment for veterinary professionals.

Feature	Detail
Food and Beverage Stations	3 stations inside the exhibit hall — breakfast and lunch items available
Learning Hubs	6 learning hubs inside the exhibit hall running education throughout each show day
Information Desks	2 — one in Bayside Foyer, one inside Exhibit Hall Bayside C next to roll-up doors
Hall Access for Minors	Children under 18 may enter the exhibit hall if accompanied by a badged adult
Minors During Setup / Teardown	No one under 18 permitted during installation or dismantling periods — no exceptions
Exhibit Hall Location	Mandalay Bay Convention Center — Bayside and adjacent halls
Industry Seminars	Complimentary meals provided during breakfast and lunch — first-come, first-served seating
Conference Notes Access	Available via myviticus.wvc.org and the Viticus Group Conference App for 6 months post-show

For exhibitors, the learning hubs and food stations inside the exhibit hall are one of WVC Vegas’s most strategically valuable features. They bring veterinary professionals onto the exhibit floor and keep them there — eating, learning, and browsing between scheduled CE sessions. Booths positioned near high-traffic food and hub areas capture significant organic foot traffic that would not exist at a standard trade show.

Company Group Pricing Registration Packages

WVC Vegas 2027 offers structured group pricing for companies sending teams of 50 or more employees. This is particularly relevant for exhibiting companies who want to ensure their full sales and clinical teams are registered and badged for the show.

Package Size	Total Cost	Per-Pass Cost
50 Passes	$8,750	$175 per pass
100 Passes	$15,000	$150 per pass
250 Passes	$31,250	$125 per pass
500 Passes	$50,000	$100 per pass

Important: WVC Vegas Company Group Pricing Packages are non-refundable once purchased. Passes are for company group registration only. Companies must have 50 or more colleagues attending to qualify.

Exhibitor Priority Point Ranking System

WVC Vegas assigns initial booth space using a Priority Point system. Understanding how points accumulate directly affects your booth selection position for WVC Vegas 2027 and every subsequent year.

Point Source	Points Awarded
Booth space purchased	1 point per 100 sq. ft.
Consecutive years of exhibition	3 points per consecutive year
Sponsorship investment	2 points per $500 in sponsorship at conference or campuses
Hands-on Laboratory supplies only	1 point
Hands-on Laboratory equipment and personnel	2 points
Hands-on Laboratory personnel and equipment	5 points
Miscellaneous opportunities	Various — announced throughout the year

 

Priority Point Rule	Detail
Points reset condition	If a company declines participation for an event, consecutive-year points reset to zero
Mergers and acquisitions	May use the more favorable exhibiting history of either company — not combined
New exhibitors	Apply online at viticusgroup.org — approval within 48 business hours
Returning exhibitors	Contacted within 24 business hours for booth selection after show

Practical implication: The longer you exhibit at WVC Vegas consecutively, the stronger your booth selection position becomes. Companies that skip a year reset their consecutive-year points to zero — a significant long-term penalty in booth placement for high-traffic floor positions. Investing in a strong, professional stand year after year builds both your brand presence and your priority ranking simultaneously.

Why Your WVC Vegas 2027 Booth Design Is the Most Important Veterinary Marketing Decision of Your Year

WVC Vegas 2027 places your brand in front of 21,000 veterinary professionals in one of the most immersive conference environments in professional healthcare. These are not passive attendees. They arrived in Las Vegas with 900 hours of CE on their schedule, clinical goals on their minds, and products to evaluate before they fly home at the end of the week.

When they walk the exhibit floor — between sessions, during meals, through the learning hub areas — they are doing so with intent. They are looking for solutions. They are comparing vendors. They are making decisions about what gets adopted into their practice and what gets passed over.

That process happens faster than most exhibitors realize. A veterinary professional evaluating a booth makes a judgment about whether it deserves their time within the first few seconds of seeing it. That judgment is shaped entirely by what they see — the visual clarity of your brand, the professionalism of your presentation, the quality of the environment your stand creates.

The veterinary community is a trust-based profession. DVMs and veterinary technicians rely on the companies whose products they use with animals every day. A poorly presented booth signals something about the quality of care a company puts into its work. A professionally designed, well-executed exhibition stand signals the opposite — precision, investment, and attention to the details that matter.

WVC Vegas also has a feature that makes booth design even more strategically critical: the six learning hubs and three food stations inside the exhibit hall. These create sustained dwell time on the floor throughout each show day. Attendees are not just passing through — they are spending meaningful time in the exhibit hall, eating, learning, and exploring. The booths that capture that attention are the ones designed to do it intentionally.

Interior Today LLC builds veterinary trade show booths that earn attention in that environment. We design stands that communicate your brand’s credibility, create the right conditions for clinical product conversations, and give your team the professional, branded home base they need to work 21,000 attendees across the full WVC Vegas week.
