About the event
The London Vet Show describes itself as Europe's largest veterinary conference and exhibition. The 2026 edition takes place on Thursday 19 and Friday 20 November at ExCeL London, in the Royal Docks in east London.
The education programme is run with two education partners, the Royal Veterinary College and the British Veterinary Association. According to the venue, more than 200 speakers and over 400 exhibitors take part, from new start-ups to the largest companies in animal health.
The organisers deliberately keep the show to two days: long enough to offer plenty of practical content, but short enough for vets, vet nurses and practice teams to fit it around work in practice.
The show is aimed at veterinary professionals rather than pet owners. For the profession it is one of the main dates of the year to catch up on clinical developments, see new equipment and medicines and meet colleagues.
