Following on from a hugely successful BCVA Congress in October 2024 we would like to invite Congress submissions for 2025 to all those who want to be part of delivering high quality CPD for farm animal practitioners through bringing clinical updates, scientific advances, expert knowledge and a breadth of experience to cattle vets in all walks of life.
This call for submissions is for the following types of presentations at Congress:
- Lectures: 30-minute oral presentations within the main programme, including delegate Q&A.
- Workshop: a limited number of 90-minute workshops are available for small group (20-25 delegates) interactive presentations in a format of your choice to allow you to be creative with your presentation style.
- Postgraduate Research: Congress Scientific Committee will select submissions for a limited number of 15 minute oral presentation with other accepted submissions included as a poster presentation.
- Short Research/Clinical Presentation: Congress Scientific Committee will select submissions for a 15minute oral presentation with other accepted submissions included as a poster presentation.
- Commercial Talks: we value the contribution exhibitors bring to Congress, and in 2024 we introduced associated talks from commercial partners where there is a clinical or educational opportunity for our delegates. These are subject to peer review from the Congress Committee and will be indicated as commercial sessions in the programme. Commercial abstracts will not be included in the Cattle Practice Proceedings.
- Poster: an excellent way to present your information, on display during the entire event.
