and over 25 poster presentations – the posters themselves will be available for view on both days of the event. 

LeisheVeters will bring their practical experience to the event through presentations of Clinical Cases.  There will also be an opportunity to discuss your clinical cases and research in two informal early morning get-togethers.

The event is packed with presentations and clinical cases that will allow you to further your knowledge about leishmaniosis. Our sponsors (Elanco, IDEXX, Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health, Leti Pharma, Virbac and MSD Animal Health) will all have a presence in the event if you want to catch up with their latest developments. There are also ample opportunities during coffee breaks, lunch and the ALIVE dinner and party to network and gather contacts to help you in the future. 

With over 24 hours of presentation time, the first Leishmaniosis conference for veterinarians provides a unique opportunity to interact both presentially and online to keep up to date on the latest developments regarding animal Leishmaniosis.
