ECVIM-CA Congress 2026

Main Congress
Berlin, Germany | 10-12th Sept 2026

This congress is a very well-known event on the veterinary internal medicine calendar. The programme has streams of lectures organized by special interest societies, such as comparative hepatology, gastroenterology, nephrology and urology, endocrinology, internal medicine, infectious diseases, clinical pathology, nutrition, oncology and cardiology. There are also oral abstract sessions, again organized by the specialist societies, and poster exhibits of abstracts.

This year, the SCH Main Congress Day will take place on Thursday, 10th September, focused on acute liver failure: programme and speakers here.

Registrations for the main congress are now open here for in-person and here for on demand attendance.
