We've all heard the cliché, "You've got to spend money to make money," but outside of Vegas and Wall Street, when does this apply? How about in St. Louis at the 2009 AVImark Annual User Conference?

"How can I make money at an AVImark conference," you ask. The answer: from your peers and a great course schedule.

More than 9,500 veterinary practices are using AVImark veterinary software. As an attendee, you can exchange ideas and build your network with other practices small and large.

Our expert team will train you on the latest AVImark features to help save time and money while maximizing the potential of your veterinary practice. It's a small investment that will deliver tremendous results.

Practicing medicine is what you do best. With your busy schedule, you don't have time to worry about your practice management software. We'll teach you tips and tricks to make your software really work for you - from security, to lab work, to inventory control.

Three tracks of classes will help increase your AVImark knowledge, whether you're a beginner or an advanced user. Classes are role based catering to administrators, veterinarians, managers, technicians, inventory controllers, receptionists and Kennel Staff.

I guess the real question is, can you afford not to invest in staff training? Don't just take our word for it. Put us to the test and get a safer gamble than Vegas or Wall Street.

Our 2009 User Conference is scheduled for Sept. 16 - 18 in downtown St. Louis.
