For BSAVA Congress and Expo 2025, we’re introducing an exciting new feature at the centre of our Exhibition Hall designed to enhance attendee engagement and foster greater connections – The Community Hub. Our goal is to help attendees ‘Find their Tribe’, connect with individuals that have common experiences, and expand their networks, whether personally or professionally. We want everyone who attends Congress to leave feeling more supported, inspired, and enriched by their experience. 

Thanks to our Community Hub sponsor Hill's Pet Nutrition

Here, we are planning sessions in collaboration with organisations such as MMI, BVA Great Workplaces Initiative; Vetlife and also covering topics such as ‘Where to begin with Research/Writing’, ‘Volunteering’, ‘Career Development’ and more. It’s the perfect place to discover new ideas, tips, and resources. Our amazing speakers will give a short presentation followed by audience to speaker and audience to audience interaction.

A unique area for you to connect and share experiences across generations, with other parents or for those from similar regions. Where personal connections can flourish, creating a network of support and camaraderie. Our facilitators & ice breakers will help stimulate some interesting, useful (and in some cases, fun) conversations. 

New to Congress or attending on your own? Our early morning meet and greet sessions are designed for those wanting to buddy up with other delegates for their stay at Congress. Come along and make new friends!

Whether you're passionate about books, hiking, photography, or cooking, this is the place to share your interests, discover new ones, and exchange knowledge. It’s a great way to bond over shared passions or try something new!

A laid-back space designed for informal networking and relaxation. With massage chairs, puzzles, and games, this zone encourages spontaneous connections in a fun and stress-free environment. It’s the perfect place to unwind and meet new people.
