The Leipzig Veterinary Congress – A Great Track Record

Leipziger Tierärztekongress

Breaking one record after another

The Leipzig Veterinary Congress is the foremost event for advanced veterinary medicine training in German-speaking Europe. In 2022, 5,600 people came to Leipzig from 26 countries to harness the high-quality congress programme for their professional training and development, and to exchange knowledge and ideas about highly topical subjects covering all fields of veterinary medicine. Leipzig is the only place where veterinary practitioners from all areas of the field as well as other occupational groups engaged in veterinary work can benefit not just from a congress but also the vetexpo trade fair. Together these offer a wide and varied programme, focusing both on species-specific as well as interdisciplinary subjects.
