London Vet Show will be the first large gathering of the veterinary profession in London for two years when it opens its doors next month.
CloserStill Media, organisers of what will be the 12th edition of London Vet Show – along with education partners the RVC and the BVA – are looking ahead to welcoming the veterinary profession to the two-day event taking place from 11 to 12 November at the ExCeL, London.
Managing director of CloserStill Media’s vet portfolio Rob Chapman said: “The London Vet Show in 2019 was the last major in-person event pre-Covid-19 pandemic.
“We are delighted to be gathering once more. We had more tickets booked this September than any other year, which has reinforced that there’s a real desire among the veterinary community to get back together and that confidence in events is returning.”
Mr Chapman added: “Our team is busy putting the final touches in place – including our new Covid-safety features. Our speakers are excited to present to live audiences again, the delegates are making plans to see old friends. And, very importantly, our exhibitors are busy organising fantastic giveaways and getting stock ready. There has been so much fantastic R&D in the veterinary sector over the past two years and vet professionals will get to try it out first at the London Vet Show.”
BVA senior vice-president James Russell said “The London Vet Show is a highlight of the CPD and social calendar.
“The range of lectures we have on means there’s something for everybody – whether it’s clinical, non-clinical, BVA Congress or our career development stream. But the opportunity to see each other again after two years is something which I am so excited about.”
Jill Maddison, who programmes the RVC’s small animal streams, added: “After almost two years I am beyond excited that we will be back together again at the London Vet Show. As usual, we have a great line up of speakers from abroad, the RVC and around the UK who will deliver lectures covering many different aspects of clinical practice.
“I hope that whatever sessions you attend and whatever exhibits you visit at the 12th London Vet Show, you will find something to interest, intrigue and inspire you that you can take back to your practice to enhance the welfare of your patients and clients, your team and of course, yourself.”
Organisers of the show are asking delegates planning on attending to pre-register so the event can be best planned in a Covid-secure manner.
One and two-day tickets are available – for more information and to book, visit the website or telephone +44 (0)2476 719 687.
