HVMA President
Aloha HVMA Members,
I’m looking forward to seeing you at the upcoming HVMA 72nd Annual Conference, taking place from November 5 – 9, 2025 at the Sheraton Princess Kaʻiulani Waikiki Beach Hotel in Honolulu.
This event is much more than our annual gathering. It’s a time to be inspired, to grow professionally, and to reconnect with each other. As we continue to navigate the evolving landscape of veterinary medicine, our local conference offers:
- A robust continuing-education program, approved for 117 RACE hours (max 36 for veterinarians, 28 for veterinary technicians).
- Exceptional opportunities to network with fellow veterinarians, technicians, exhibitors, and thought-leaders in the field.
- A chance to reflect on our unique island ecosystem and how our practices can continue to serve pets, families and communities across Hawaiʻi with excellence.
In times of change and challenges such as staff shortages, shifting client expectations, and economic unrest, gathering together reminds us that we are stronger together. This conference is our moment to reaffirm our commitment to the profession, exchange knowledge, and leave energized for the year ahead. We believe this conference will leave you equipped with new insights, connected to peers, and inspired to continue the important work you do every day for animals and their people.
Thank you for being part of the Hawaii Veterinary Medical Association community. We look forward to seeing you for a week of learning, aloha, and professional rejuvenation.
Aloha,
Dr. Heather Kihara
