BVA Live 2027
About BVA Live
BVA Live is a two-day veterinary conference and exhibition at the NEC Birmingham for every member of the veterinary team, created by the organisers of the London Vet Show (CloserStill Media) with the British Veterinary Association as education partner.
BVA Live 2027 in Birmingham
BVA Live 2027 runs on Thursday 11 and Friday 12 March 2027 at the NEC Birmingham.
What it is
BVA Live bills itself as more than a conference and more than an exhibition: two days of learning, exhibits and networking for the whole veterinary team, at every career stage. Lecture streams run alongside an exhibition of veterinary suppliers, and the show is a chance to network with colleagues and celebrate the profession. It was created by the organisers of the London Vet Show, CloserStill Media, and the British Veterinary Association, which is the education partner.
