SAMSoc Spring Event 2026

Following the announcement that the BSAVA Congress has been retired, your committee must consider what the future holds for our spring event. We are grateful for those that completed our membership survey earlier this year, confirming that members still want two events per year.

Many of you suggested that a virtual event would be appealing and provide a chance for many to attend who would not be able to do so in person, and so this spring we are pleased to announce a virtual event. 

We are grateful to ECVIM who have confirmed that virtual oral presentations at SAMSoc will be valid for credentials and so we will be pleased to include this on the programme. 

For the last two years we have successfully delivered a dedicated online session to our veterinary nurses, and our plan is to combine these two programme streams online in 2026. We'll be offering incentivised pricing for a practice who books a vet and a nurse onto the event. 

Full details of our speakers and their topics will be updated as we confirm them.
