Come and join us in Brisbane in 2010 for the joint AVA and NZVA Annual Conference. Join fellow veterinarians from around Australia and New Zealand for a week of learning and networking in this perfect meeting destination.

As Queensland's vibrant capital city, Brisbane offers the very best in food, wine, arts, entertainment and major sporting events with relaxed sub-tropical flair. Brisbane is the centre of a region rich in world-class beach, river, rainforest and mountain experiences.

In 2010, the AVA Annual Conference will be combined with the New Zealand Veterinary Association (NZVA) Conference, to create the Pan Pacific Veterinary Conference. The Pan Pacific Veterinary Conference will be held at the Brisbane Convention and Exhibition Centre.

The Pan Pacific conference offers delegates and exhibitors the chance to further expand their networking circles, exhibit and view an even greater variety of products and services and learn from the experiences and expertise of our neighbours.
