Welcome to a new type                                                                        Contents
of BSAVA Congress                                                                            5       Congress programme
In 2020 the veterinary professions underwent a paradigm shift in how we worked.
To meet this change, BSAVA assembled a team of nurses, primary care                                  introduction
practitioners, academics and specialists and clinical directors to spearhead a
revolution in the BSAVA Congress. Together we forged a congress ‘by the
professions for the professions’ at which we hope you will get to learn in new               7       Magnificent 7
ways, view issues from new perspectives and yes, have a bit of fun on the way!
We are determined to embrace the opportunities that going virtual allows.                    8       Congress programme
■    Virtual presentations are often better if they are focussed and interactive,                    – Thursday
     so we have made many of our presentations two speaker conversations
     with delegate participation rather than formal lectures.
■    Virtual congresses allow delegates to participate and learn at your own pace            10 Congress programme
     and in your own time, so the content will be on the platform for 2 months
     after the live event.                                                                      – Friday
■    ‘Going virtual’ means more than just presentations, so we are providing a
     range of training opportunities through multi-media resources.
■    Virtual exhibitions can become bespoke personal experiences, so we have                 12 Congress programme
     worked with our partners in industry to provide you with the interaction when
     you want and how you want.
                                                                                                – Saturday
■    Health and wellbeing is vital to our delegates, so we have a
     wellbeing section running in the exhibition and keynote lectures and
     a daily virtual run during the congress day.
                                                                                             15 Sponsor symposia
■    Finally, we know at the end of the day we all want to socialise, so we have
     organised virtual tastings, discos, live music and cocktail classes.                    16 Exhibitor stream
None of this would have been achieved without the hard work of a small team of
veterinary professionals working against the clock to achieve something that you
may have thought impossible – a true virtual congress that lived up to the                   18 Exhibitors listings
promise of the medium.
I am so excited to be able to welcome to the new                                             24 Lecture notes
experience that is BSAVA Virtual Congress.
