The 2026 Conference theme is 'Connection, Collaboration, Knowledge' and will focus on neurology, behaviour, and knowledge exchange, delivering an enriching experience for all attendees. 

Esteemed global leaders in neuroscience and animal behaviour will join forces with Australian experts to present a carefully curated program designed to advance veterinary science and personal growth.

The AVA Conference Program Committee is accepting abstracts to present research as part of the AVA Conference Research stream. The abstracts can be recent research, clinical projects, or a case series or individual case report involving any aspect of veterinary science.
