WSAVA World Congress is an opportunity for our global veterinary community to come together to learn, to share ideas and to forge relationships with colleagues from around the world. World Congress is hosted by a member association with support from the WSAVA leadership team and our professional congress organizer. It rotates through different regions of the world.
Every World Congress boasts a cutting-edge scientific program, featuring global experts in animal health.
The hosting association creates a social program to ensure delegates enjoy a memorable experience and appreciate local culture and attractions.
The World Congress trade exhibition contributes to relationship-building between veterinarians and our industry partners.
