We’ll see you online
We were hoping to offer you an amazing hybrid experience but because of the continuing challenges of COVID-19 our venue is unfortunately not available to us.
In view of this, we are already working to transform the WSAVA/FECAVA Congress into a fully virtual event.
Our world is changing, and every member of our global veterinary community has an important role to play in helping to create a happy and healthy future for the world’s pets, for their owners and for our colleagues. Coming together to learn from experts and colleagues about the latest thinking in veterinary medicine is a great way to do this and connecting virtually when we can’t meet in person is convenient, fun and efficient.
Our virtual Congress will offer you an all-round experience, from educational discussions on the latest advancements and best practices in small animal medicine, to exciting online networking opportunities.
The Virtual Congress will take place on the same dates: 21 – 24 March 2021 with sessions will available on-demand for 3 months following the Congress.
Check out our website to benefit from the new reduced virtual registration rates.
We truly believe the WSAVA/FECAVA Congress will be a wonderful experience and are looking forward to meeting you online.
Kind Regards,
The WSAVA/FECAVA Organizing Committee
