Initiated by veterinary medical associations from Jiangsu Province, Zhejiang Province, Sichuan Province, Shanghai City, and Qingdao City, the Small Animal Veterinary Conference is organized with the collective efforts of 66 provincial and municipal veterinary associations across China. The conference aims to establish a more professional and authoritative academic exchange platform for global small animal clinical veterinarians, promote the continuing education of small animal clinical practitioners, and advance the alignment of China's small animal clinical veterinary technology with international standards. In terms of scale, the conference has already become one of the top three professional veterinary conferences globally and the largest in Asia. The 18th edition of the conference in 2026 will be held under the theme "Be the Answer," featuring over 50 international specialized courses.
