When will you release programme details for 2027?

We are in the process of confirming speakers and subjects – sign up to the mailing list to be kept in the loop.

​​

What are the rates?

We have three sets of rates – and it makes sense to book as early as possible:

​

Super early-bird (available until 28th February)

• Veterinary surgeons 2 days £310, 1 day £180

• Veterinary nurses 2 days £220, 1 day £145

​​

Early-bird (available until 31st July)

• Veterinary surgeons 2 days £340, 1 day £195

• Veterinary nurses 2 days £245, 1 day £160

​​

Standard rate (available until the event itself)

• Veterinary surgeons 2 days £380, 1 day £200

• Veterinary nurses 2 days £280, 1 day £190

​

NB. All rates exclude VAT @20%

​​

What do we get for our money?

You get:

• Up to 14 hours of CPD across two days, or 7 for one day

• A two-course sit-down meal with hot and cold options

• Refreshments throughout – tea, coffee, infusions, biscuits and fruit

• A chunky congress handbook featuring all the session synopses, exhibitor details, etc.

​

Why is there a surcharge for workshops?

Our workshops involve equipment that we have to buy or hire. A £10 surcharge helps us with these costs.

​​

How do I book?

Use our Jotform: https://form.jotform.com/263093431799366

​​

Can I book now and pay later?

Yes, absolutely. Simply choose 'INVOICEME' at checkout and your time of booking will be noted. You will need to pay a 25% deposit to secure your booking but can settle the balance later.

​​

If I book for the SPVS stream, can I attend the rest of the congress?

Yes – the SPVS rates include full access to the congress, but those booking only for the main congress cannot attend SPVS sessions.

​

Who should I contact for further information?

• For any event enquiries – programme, accommodation, etc. – email chris@teamworkprofessionals.co.uk or call 07801 657608

• For any admin enquiries – bookings, payments, etc. – email admin@teamworkprofessionals.co.uk

• Exhibitor enquiries should go to advertising@theveterinaryedge.com

​

What's so great about Sandy Park?

The conferencing facilities at Sandy Park, home to the Exeter Chiefs, are the best in the area:

• Spacious, comfortable, air-conditioned rooms spread across two easily-accessible floors with lift access

• State-of-the-art A/V system

• Excellent catering

• Clean, modern, well-maintained toilets

• Ample and free parking

​

Exeter is quite far away from me – why should I travel to Exeter?

The south-west has few options for CPD events, but our congress attracts delegates from all over the UK. Sandy Park is easily accessible from the M5 and A30, and Exeter Airport is just a few minutes away.

​

Will sessions be filmed?

Yes – but not all of them. You can watch three videos from the 2026 congress at www.vetsurgeon.org and www.vetnurse.co.uk.

​

Will I get a chance to talk to speakers?

Each session allows time for Q&A, and the speakers will invariably be milling around the exhibition and catering area during breaks – and if you attend on the first day, at the happy hour (free bar!) after sessions conclude.

​

Where can I stay?

Organisers and speakers stay at the on-site Courtyard Hotel, for which we are given a special rate. There are numerous other options nearby (not really walking distance).

​​

Are there any social events?

The organisers, some speakers and others can be found in the bar upstairs at The Courtyard Hotel each evening (the night before too). You are welcome to join us for a drink and/or dinner.

​

I would like to speak at a VetEdge Congress – who should I contact?

For any enquiries, email chris@teamworkprofessionals.co.uk
