ECC congress goes online

Organisers for the emergency and critical care (ECC) congress have announced that the event will now go digital in light of continued uncertainty amid the pandemic.  

Vets Now said that the event will now take place at a virtual conference centre between 4 November and 7 November, providing digital networking opportunities to veterinary professionals. 

Exhibitions and talks will also be held, and Dan Fletcher, Megan Brashear and Claire Sharp are among the speakers at the digital event. 

Specialist vet Dan Lewis said: “This move online has been months in the planning and we’re hugely excited about the opportunities it will bring for delegates, exhibitors and speakers, who we hope will be joining us from across the world.

“The interactive platform we’re using is cutting edge and it provides so much more than just webinars. There will be live content, an interactive exhibition hall, and more opportunities than ever for delegates to network and learn from some of the world’s leading veterinary experts discussing ECC.”

He added: “Our programme this year has been carefully tailored to provide an inclusive learning experience for vets and vet nurses no matter what stage they’re at in their career – from students through to specialists.

“We’ll obviously miss seeing everyone in person, but we’re very excited that we can gather together online for a one-of-a-kind experience.”
