This year, we’re thrilled to announce a special collaboration with the Veterinary Business Group (VBG) bringing together clinical excellence and business insight.
This four-day conference is the premier small animal event on the AVA calendar, offering an unrivalled program of cutting-edge scientific content.
The 2026 theme, “The Joys of General Practice,” will feature case-focused sessions covering topics such as anaesthesia, euthanasia, and the management of chronic illnesses. Meanwhile, the dedicated VBG stream will deliver valuable sessions on practice management, leadership, and business growth.
By uniting two of the AVA’s largest membership groups, this event will provide the perfect setting to reconnect with colleagues, forge new relationships, and share ideas that strengthen our profession.
Beyond the lecture halls, enjoy a vibrant line-up of social events, including the Recent Graduate Dinner and the combined ASAV & VBG Awards Gala Dinner, where we’ll celebrate the achievements and contributions of our peers.
With over 350 veterinary professionals expected to attend, this is your opportunity to experience unparalleled learning, networking, and camaraderie all in a breathtaking coastal setting.
🗓️ Don’t miss this unique conference that promises education, connection, and inspiration in equal measure.
