VCS Party at the AHVMA conference
AFVAC Congress LYON 2024
Created in 1958, the French Association of Companion Animal Veterinarians (AFVAC) – initially the National Conference of Veterinarians Specialized in Small Animals (CNVSPA), quickly felt the need to bring veterinarians together around an annual event, the National Congress.
Intended for all general and specialist veterinarians, both private and salaried, AFVAC the Congress has become over the years the essential scientific meeting for pet veterinarians with more than 2,600 veterinarians and 4,505 badges distributed. The program designed by the scientific committee of the Congress includes a general program that is structured around a theme that meets the current concerns of the veterinarian and an optional program that places a large emphasis on workshops, tutorials and practical work. This program is delivered by nearly 196 speakers during 292 conferences in 108 training modules in 12 rooms that operate simultaneously.
Animal Health, Nutrition and Technology Innovation Asia 2024
The organizers of this event have a mission to engage all key participants in the value chain, so they can address the full scope of how animal health impacts pet owners, veterinarians, and farmers today.
“Across regions of Asia, prediction, prevention, and treatment of disease in animals are becoming increasingly important, with Japan and China continuing to lead the charge, but we are seeing new markets emerging including Thailand, India, Indonesia, Vietnam, Singapore, South Korea, and Malaysia. One of the biggest challenges in this region for large animal health companies is sourcing innovation, and for start-ups, it is entering new markets.”

What Pain is Doing to the Patient: Impact on Hospice Care
This free, 1 hour RACE-CE approved webinar will feature insights from IVAPM’s Tamara Grubb, DVM, PhD, DACVAA. While not cannabis focused, she discusses how pain causes a myriad of adverse effects that negatively impact any patient. Unfortunately, the impact on patients in hospice care may be exaggerated because of underlying comorbidities, behavior/mentation changes, etc. Thus, the importance of pain control in hospice patients is critical for patient well-being and health.
