SPVS are delighted to announce their 2025 Congress aimed to inspire the whole practice team, will be taking place at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, from Thursday 30 January to Saturday 1 February 2025.
To register, and for full details of the group and membership discounts, visit the SPVS congress website.
The opening speaker will be Cassie Leonard, engineer, best-selling author and executive coach. She will guide us on the value of authentic networking for meaningful connections linking in with our “connect, collaborate, progress” congress theme.
The full programme, to be announced shortly, is designed with the whole team in mind and will deliver on SPVS over-arching theme of Thriving in Practice:
- Team Dynamics – growing together as a whole practice team
- Leadership – creating a winning team
- Effective Practice Management – running a happy, profitable practice
- Self-Development – boosting your career
- Business Development – overcoming the challenges of personal and practice finance in today’s economic climate
Proudly supported by Elanco and PetsApp, this non-clinical programme will be a combination of lectures, panel sessions and interactive workshops providing in-practice case-studies, high-levels of audience participation and practical steps to implement on return to practice.
The fun-filled social events will include Thursday afternoon happy hour followed by our relaxed Thursday night networking event, and the return of Race night, plus Friday night’s Presidents’ party with a sparkling reception, 3-course meal and one of the UK’s best party bands – The Kings!
The accompanying exhibition will host a wide selection of companies focussed on the business, management, marketing and client-facing aspects of veterinary practice and offering the latest products, services and advice to help you and your team progress.
Returning for 2025 will be a dedicated “grow your business” day on Saturday 1 February, for those thinking of starting up or expanding their business.
New for 2025 will be a Friday morning collaborative “business club live” speed-networking session – an opportunity to discuss a variety of defined issues on hosted tables. Also new for 2025 will be a dedicated livestock stream focussing on the unique challenges faced by livestock veterinary professionals.
The entire event will be held at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole, which is centrally located with great transport links, is easily reached from all corners of Great Britain and offers enough bedrooms for all attendees to stay onsite for the duration of the event.
