Welcome again to Thessaloniki, second largest city in Greece and the capital of the geographic region of Macedonia, for the 6th Eastern European Regional Veterinary Conference (EERVC).

In 2019, after EERVC in Thessaloniki we received fantastic feedback from delegates and we decided to come back 4 years later.

EERVC Board tried to follow your suggestions when considering the speakers and their topics. Speakers have been selected by recommendation and their expertise. Lectures cover all aspects of small animal medicine and surgery, as well as topics of current interest for the profession. The EERVC offers cutting-edge international speakers, the largest regional and international trade exhibition and unparalleled opportunities for professional networking during an affordable, high-quality, 3 – day annual meeting.

Special sessions are dedicated to our Greek coleagues covering specific topics very much relevant for every day clinical work. EERVC is introducing New Session – Thinking Out of the Box with… This year Mike Farrell, worldwide recognised orthopaedic specialist, will share his insights on very common topics by widening our perspectives.

The trade exhibition at EERVC 2023 is a fantastic place to discover the newest products from industry, including the very latest innovations and services focused on the needs of the small animal veterinarian. We recommend that you explore the trade exhibition and make the most of the veterinary industry expertise and their products. On behalf of the EERVC Board, I would like to thank our exhibitors and sponsors, whose support ensures we can continue to deliver high quality and affordable CPD in this region.

The EERVC Organizing Team have prepared lots of great opportunities for networking including Welcome Reception on Thursday, famously known EERVC Party on Friday and the Greek Night on Saturday. Do not miss none of them!

My personal thanks go to the EERVC Project Board and the founding partners from the Small Animal Veterinary Associations of Croatia, Serbia and the British Small Animal Veterinary Association. The team all work in a voluntary capacity and have worked extremely hard to continue this ambitious mission of advancing the veterinary profession in Eastern Europe.

The EERVC Board thank every individual delegate, coming from 46 countries across the globe and we hope to see you again next year!
