Overview

We are excited to announce that in 2025 ASAV will be celebrating our 50th ASAV annual conference from Sunday 24 August to Thursday 28 August in Cairns, the gateway to Australia's Great Barrier Reef located in tropical Far North Queensland. But that's not all – for our golden anniversary celebrations we are teaming up with three other special interest groups. The 5-day extravaganza will see us join forces with The Australian Veterinary Dental Society, The Australian Veterinary Conservation Biology group and The Unusual Pet and Avian Veterinarians group and therefore will bring ample opportunities to create new connections as well as reunite previous ones. The ASAV stream will cover great scientific information focusing on dermatology and endocrinology. As well as the lectures and scientific information at our conference, we will have a great feature of social events throughout the week. With over 350 veterinary professionals expected to gather under one roof at the Cairns Convention Centre, mark your calendars now! This conference promises education, camaraderie, and fun and is your chance to learn, connect, and make lasting memories. We can't wait to welcome you to the 50th ASAV Conference together with AVDS, AVCB and UPAV - where fur, feathers, fangs, and fins converge! Exhibition and sponsorship booking open February 2025 Registration opens May 2025 Further information coming soon, please contact events@ava.com.au for any conference enquiries.
