About the conference
The Australian Veterinary Association (AVA) Annual Conference is the leading continuing professional development event for the Australian veterinary profession. The four-day scientific program is supported by the largest veterinary trade display in the country, and each year it attracts the biggest gathering of veterinary professionals in Australia.
The Conference is held in May each year. The extensive social program includes a Welcome Reception, Gala Dinner, special interest group functions and happy hours. The conference is also the home of the AVA’s Annual General Meeting.
The AVA Annual Conference offers delegates the opportunity to network with friends and colleagues, update their skills across the full range of veterinary activities and visit a comprehensive industry exhibition with displays of the latest equipment and technology.
