BVA Live will be the BVA's first standalone event in nine years.

The BVA marks one year countdown with low-price ticket offer. 

The BVA has begun preparations for their previously postponed event, BVA Live.

Working with CloserStill Media, the BVA has created BVA Live as a standalone event – the first of these in nine years – which will debut at Birmingham's NEC on 23-24 June 2022.

Preparations for the event have got underway, beginning with an offer of the first 99 tickets being sold at a price of £99 +VAT,  with BVA members receiving a discount of 15 per cent and paying £85 +VAT.

Intended to complement the London Vet Show, BVA Live will provide practical, clinical, and non clinical CPD, big-issue debates, and will showcase veterinary suppliers and vendors in the exhibition, for 1,500 veterinary professionals. 

Rob Chapman, managing director of CloserStill's veterinary portfolio, said: “We launched the London Vet Show with £99 tickets back in 2009, and it feels right to do the same with the launch of BVA Live 2022 this week. Veterinary professionals all over the country need a boost and we hope that this promotion makes our new event even more accessible. 

“Don’t be fooled by the low-price tag either; BVA Live will follow the same key principles that have made the London Vet Show such a success - high-quality CPD, exhibition and networking opportunities that the veterinary community has come to know and love at our events.”

President of the BVA, James Russell, commented:  “I’m delighted to support the launch of the rescheduled BVA Live where the veterinary community can come together, outside of London, to develop and thrive through a programme of excellent CPD, delivered by world class speakers.

“Whilst we hope that we will be back to some form of normality next year, you can be reassured that as part of our planning, we will continually review and adhere to all government requirements and make sure the most rigorous safety measures will be in place to ensure the safety and comfort of all participants, speakers and exhibitors.

“This will be an opportunity for the veterinary profession to come together to tackle the big issues we face and to engage with BVA Officers, volunteers and staff in one central venue. Our choice of the NEC, Birmingham, with its excellent direct road, rail and air links means that we can provide a greater regional offering to the veterinary profession.”

The sale started on 21 June, and will continue until midnight, 25 June, or until the first 99 tickets have been purchased.
