Interested in exhibiting at VCA Congress?

VCA Congress is a one day virtual event focused solely on roles within the varied veterinary care field.

Why exhibit with us?

Limited exhibitor numbers - Unlike larger congresses where hundreds of exhibitors often mean that visitors will not remember everyone, exhibition space for these events is strictly limited. As such you will get the opportunity to engage with the delegates attending our congresses personally.
Make meaningful business connections – Network with those that influence decision making in veterinary practice and make relevant industry contacts virtually.
Cost effective – with exhibitor packages starting from just £50+VAT, our prices offer value for money and fall considerably below that of larger events within the industry.
