Get Back to Business and Build the Career in Veterinary Medicine You Want!

The Uncharted Conference in April is our flagship event. In celebration of 5 years serving the veterinary profession, we have shifted the focus of this conference inward. You’re not looking to grow your business outwardly – you’re looking for ways to build resiliency and reignite your love for your career. During this 3-day adventure in beautiful Greenville, South Carolina, you’ll be discussing topics like hiring for culture, creating the story that becomes your path, and building smoother, more simple ways to practice. This event is open to members only. Registration for this conference closes on April 1, 2022.

WHAT IS UNCHARTED?

We are a company built to serve. We create events based on the topics the profession needs to discuss now. We dare to lean into the challenges that come with holding each other accountable to reach goals. We encourage open and honest conversations about the most complex issues veterinary professionals face. You’re not a nameless face in a crowd. You’re an individual with goals and big dreams that we want to help you achieve. We want to see you make waves and see the ripples of your work touch the future of this profession.

Michael Miller, DVM

Dr. Michael W. Miller is the co-owner of a four-hospital small animal practice, and sees patients at Lakewood Animal Hospital in Morris, Illinois. In addition to dogs and cats, he has a special interest in reptiles which led him to start a wildlife rescue at his practice for hit-by-car turtles. After being a contributing author to the DrAndyRoark.com and UnchartedVet.com websites, he started his blog called Harry Potter Vet, where he uses comparisons to the wizarding world to help veterinary professionals and himself discover the magic in veterinary medicine. Outside of vet med, he also is discovering the magic of parenthood as he and his wife raise their two young sons.

Uncharted 2022 Speaker

Sarah Wolff, DVM

Sarah is a crafting fanatic at heart, whose stash of yarn, fabric, and general treasures is slowly taking over her home. Luckily, her partner has a similar propensity towards projects, and together they are renovating a ramshackle cabin in the Catskill Mountains of New York.

As a kid, Sarah fell in love with veterinary medicine through James Herriot's stories (insert eye roll!). She jumped at the chance to scoop poop in the kennel at her local vet, and now looks back in horror at what a 16 year old was allowed to do ‘back in the day'. Since then, she has worked in almost every position in small animal practice, across a range of business models, and experienced both the best and worst of our field. Today, Sarah works with veterinary teams to care for both ends of the leash, creating sustainable workflows and exceptional client experiences.

ABOUT SARAH'S UNCHARTED VETERINARY CONFERENCE SESSION

Ramifications of Parlance i.e. Words Matter!

Words hold power. We know this, but only black-belt mind ninjas can truly harness that potential to improve culture, compliance, and profits. Come ready to flex some brain muscle and learn the subtle psychology of word choice. You’ll have a chance to translate your practice’s core values into a personalized jargon that will support the goals of any bada$$ Uncharted hospital. Be ready to get nerdy, because we’re going deep; bring a set of core values, a mission statement, or dreams for your team–and we’ll translate them into real life phrases and scripts to keep your practice kicking butt in all the right ways.

THE PROGRAM

DAY 1 THURSDAY, April 21 The Uncharted Veterinary Conference kicks off at 6:00 PM ET. In true UVC style, we will break the ice, get to know one another and round out the evening with a keynote from Dr. Andy Roark. This in-person banquet will look much like our virtual events and we invite you to don your finest anchor gear as we all celebrate the kickoff of being in-person for the first time in 3 years!

DAY 2 FRIDAY, April 22 The day’s events begin with breakfast in the Gold Ballroom at 7:30 AM ET. We'll start off the day with an inspirational general session that will set the tone for the rest of the event.

After our morning program, workshops get underway as well as our famous Choose Your Own Adventure (CYOA) sessions. In these sessions, attendees actually work and create resources/skills that they can take back to their practices and put to use immediately.

Throughout the day we will have fun and provide ample breaks, time to recharge and connect with other attendees.

Friday night will include a surprise night out in Greenville. What will we do next?

DAY 3 SATURDAY, April 23 Meet us in the Gold Ballroom for breakfast at 7:30 AM ET. We have a jam-packed last day together that will include a combination of structured sessions and brain breaks for networking and building relationships and trust that doesn’t come in the form of trust falls!

Before we say our “see you laters” we will set action-oriented and SMART goals, no matter what your focus. Best of all, you will leave Greenville with connections and professional relationships to lean on when things get tough along the way. We suggest booking your flight on Sunday morning so you don't miss out on any surprise fun on Saturday night.

PRICE

Uncharted Veterinary Conference is $899 (open only to Uncharted members).
