VetEvolve Strikes a Chord in Nashville

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – August 18, 2026 – VetEvolve welcomed practice owners, industry partners, and prospective team members for an evening of conversation and connection at The Twelve Thirty Club in Nashville. 

The event brought together the team and the broader veterinary community outside of the day-to-day of caring for clients and pets, creating an opportunity to build new relationships, reconnect with colleagues, and explore future partnership and career opportunities. 

Nashville and the surrounding region represent an important market as VetEvolve continues to expand its community of practices beyond the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast. Establishing a strong presence throughout the region will be an important part of that expansion. 

“Nashville is an exciting market for us, not simply because of the opportunity to grow, but because of the people and practices that make up the community here,” said Catherine Howell, CEO of VetEvolve. “Growth for us starts with relationships. Spending time together, listening, and understanding what matters to practice owners and their teams is an important part of how we build the right partnerships and continue growing with intention.” 

Throughout the evening, guests connected with leaders and team members while enjoying live entertainment from Bryce Leatherwood, winner of The Voice, Matt Wynn, and Jessie G. The informal setting opened the door for conversations about the future of the profession, practice ownership, career opportunities, and what the right partnership can look like. 

Jessie G, a military spouse, shared what made the evening particularly meaningful to her. 

“VetEvolve’s story is a special one… founded by two Marine Recon veterans,” she shared. “As a military spouse, getting to share the stage for a company with roots like these made this one mean a little more.” 

The event coincided with the team’s presence at WVC Nashville, where conversations continued with others from across the industry.
