Friday, August 26th, 2022
- 9:15 AM – 10:15 AM CT: What a Building Project Really Costs?
Speakers: Dave Gasser with Brei Silvia from Live Oak Bank
Location: Room 3501 C
So you want to start or improve a veterinary practice, but how do you determine what it may cost to meet your needs? Also, what kind of budget will your practice support? This session will help walk you thru setting up a budget, based on both your desires and your revenue, and look at all the costs that should be considered within that budget. - 1:30 PM – 2:30 PM CT: Veterinary Hospital Design 101
Speaker: Becky Gasser
Location: Room 3501 C
Not everyone gets the opportunity to build their own hospital. So, going in with a basic understanding of the process and the key elements that are intrinsic to any good veterinary hospital design, will be invaluable to helping you build the hospital you envision. - 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM CT: The Best of the Best
Speakers: Becky and Dave Gasser with Heather E. Lewis and Vicki J. Pollard from Animal Arts
Location: Room 3501 C
How does a good hospital design become a great hospital design? In this talk, our veterinary architects will present the innovative design ideas that wowed them from previous dvm360 Hospital Design winners and look at what it took to go from good to great.
Saturday, August 27th, 2022
- 10:25 AM – 10:45 AM CT: Fear Free Exam Room Design

Speaker: Becky Gasser
Location: Room 3501 C
Few buildings get as much rough and tough use as a veterinary hospital. In this talk we’ll discuss the best materials, finishes, and furnishings to not only withstand daily contact with paws, claws, and fur but that will look great and help you communicate your brand and practice style to your clients. - 4:30 PM – 5:30 PM CT: What You Need to Know Before, During and After Construction
Speaker: Dave Gasser
Location: Room 3501 C
The construction of your project is an exciting time, when your vision actually comes to life, but it can also be challenging. This session will provide you with a solid foundation to navigate this process with confidence, from understanding the basics of the building process to establishing clear lines of communication and ensuring that each step meets your expectations.
This is a great opportunity to learn from the experts about veterinary hospital design.
