There’s just four weeks left to register for the 2026 AVA Conference.
The conference is in Brisbane this year, from 18-21 May, delivering you access to 3 full days of world-class education, international keynote speakers, and the chance to build meaningful connections with colleagues from across Australia.
The 2026 program has been refreshed to deliver more content across more streams, with THRIVE Veterinary Wellness sessions and research presentations now embedded in the main program. That means more of what matters to you — and more opportunity to accumulate CPD points. Attend across 3 days and you can earn up to 47 CPD points toward your continuing professional development.
With a packed multi-stream program, the AVA conference offers you more than is physically possible to attend in-person. AVA’s video proceedings give every registered delegate 12 months’ on-demand access to sessions they couldn’t catch on the day, so you can continue learning long after the conference wraps. Watch what you missed, revisit what resonated, and make the most of every hour you’ve invested in attending.
The value of the AVA Conference doesn’t stop when you leave Brisbane. The insights, techniques, and ideas you take away are an asset for your whole practice. Share what you’ve learned with colleagues, introduce new approaches to patient care, and help elevate the standard of practice across your team.
New for 2026: a Start-up Hub showcasing innovative veterinary businesses, international keynote speakers including Prof David Hayman, Prof Holger Volk, Prof Joe Mayhew, and Prof Marion Desmarchelier, and the AVA Gala Dinner and Awards night — now held on Wednesday and bigger than ever.
