An annual conference exploring key animal welfare issues has been hailed “a catalyst for change” as details of the 2025 event were outlined.
Places are now available for the Animal Welfare Foundation’s (AWF) Discussion Forum, which will take place at central London’s Cavendish Conference Centre, Duchess Mews on 19 May.
Alongside updates on research funded by the foundation, which is the BVA’s charity, the conference will explore four key topics outlined today (6 January). They are:
AWF chairperson Julian Kupfer said: “Year on year, the discussion forum grows in influence and impact, becoming a must-attend event for those passionate about driving evidence-based, positive change for animal welfare.
“In 2025, we’re confronting some of the most urgent and complex issues in our field. This is more than a conference – it’s a catalyst for change.”
BVA president and AWF trustee Elizabeth Mullineaux described the forum as “one of the highlights of the BVA calendar”.
She added: “Dealing with new and existing challenges is key to being a vet. The discussion forum is a fantastic opportunity for members of the veterinary and animal welfare professions to get together to discuss these issues, to share knowledge and evidence, and champion the welfare of animals.”
More details of the event, and how to obtain tickets, are available here.
