Dear colleagues,

I am delighted to invite you on the behalf of the Estonian Veterinary Association to take part in the Veterinary Medicine Conference 2018. We will me meet on the familiar grounds of the Dorpat Convention Centre on the dates 26-27 October, 2018.

The Conference is held for the 25th time this year and marks the 30th anniversary since re-establishing the Estonian Veterinary Association. The opening ceremony is dedicated to celebrating this festive occasion. 

It is a pleasure to recognize that Veterinary Medicine is one of those conferences that can continue to maintain a high quality of content. We have been working to bring you renowned lecturers from Estonia and abroad whose expertise and experience are worth sharing. Knowledge alone would have little effect if we did not have a place to come together to ask questions, initiate discussions and explore ideas. I encourage you to take this opportunity.

This year, the program for the Veterinary Medicine Conference is divided into three sections – large animal veterinarians, small animal veterinarians and veterinary nurses – which will be held on Friday and Saturday. One day earlier, on October 25, an X-ray workshop will be held at the Estonian University of Life Sciences for small animal veterinarians. For participating in philosophical conversations, you are welcome to the dinner taking place in the Big Ben Pub on the evening of October 26th.

The Veterinary Medicine Conference takes place thanks to the good long-term cooperation with the Estonian Small Animal Veterinary Association and the Institute of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Sciences of the Estonian University of Life Sciences.

I wish you an inspirational jubilee conference!

Yours sincerely, Priit Koppel
Estonian Veterinary Association’s President
