Headlining this year's companion animal clinical, which has been programmed by the Royal Veterinary College (RVC), is Colorado State University's Howie B Seim III.

Organisers have this year introduced 12 brand new sessions on farm animal work programmed by the BVA, covering a broad range of topics for those in mixed practice. Acclaimed figures to speak at the event include Robert Blowey, Dai Grove White and Dick Sibley.

As well as sessions by the RVC, Burtons and Merial

The event's popular business stream will return this year with lectures covering issues relevant to the veterinary profession in the current economic climate, such as marketing, team motivation and health and safety.

This year's sessions include:
  • How to survive in a corporate world & add £50,000 per vet per year, by Alan Robinson
  • How to make the most of your online presence, by Tim Puddle
