Vet Dynamics Conference 2024 - home of the Independents

BOOK NOW!

The Vet Dynamics Conference 2024 has now finished. Thanks to everyone that came. We will update this page with Conference 2025 details in the coming weeks, so do visit again. Thank you. 

FROM BUSY TO ABUNDANCE

The Theme for 2024

The 2024 Conference agenda explores one of the perennial challenges for busy veterinary professionals: finding balance and fulfilment in your professional lives.

Shifting from a productivity-driven mindset (the ‘busy trap’) to one focused on abundance and satisfaction is powerful – and necessary. It delivers a new perspective on what ‘success’ truly means and encourages us to prioritise our personal and professional performance, well-being and happiness.

The journey may not be easy, but the potential reward of an abundance mind-set, a self-managed team and a fulfilling work environment certainly make it worth-while.

 

Experience it for yourself this September. Join us at Radisson Hotel, London Heathrow.

ALL INDEPENDENTS WELCOME!

SPONSORS & EXHIBITORS

With our thanks

“Team VD do exactly what they preach - build a supportive team. You can clearly sense how much the VD team get on and create a fantastic environment for delegates. Another fantastic conference - I think the best so far! Thank you for all your support - we wouldn’t be where we are without you”.
“Wonderful setting, great traders on site, inspiring”.
“My first time attending as I was lucky to receive a ticket from my insurers at shires so I thought I would give it go! As an independent equine practice owner o found it so helpful to bounce ideas around in the boot camp even with a lot of small animal owners there. And networking with the suppliers in the exhibition hall as well as Ernie’s talks being the icing on the cake for me! It’s really got me critically thinking about cultivating our small team at the practice and I’m buzzing with ideas - working with people with a GROWTH mindset being number one!”
“Excellent conference. The best run conference I’ve been to in years. Short breakout sessions. Speakers who know their business and a great venue. Hats off to the organisers. This isn’t easy to pull off”.
“Brilliant community, great speakers, super venue”.
“Vet Dynamics never fail to create an inspirational safe space where like-minded practice owners can share ideas and learn from the very best in the industry”.
“Inspirational and invigorating lecturers really helps bring that fire. I would be interested in some seminar or workshop-based sessions”.
“Such a wonderful networking opportunity. I have learnt so much just chatting to delegates, speakers and exhibitors, even without the lecture content. This event makes me feel part of something bigger and better and enthuses me to strive for improvement in my own practice”.
“From a startup perspective, everyone we needed to meet was there. It was incredibly helpful”.
“Keep backing the future 👍👍👍”
“Some really good insights in how to identify ways to coach and communicate effectively with your team from Ernie! The new graduate’s perspective of practice as it is now was very helpful for us to know how they are viewing practice and will help us to improve the way we deliver EMS. We have a really good relationship thankfully with the students that come to us and really enjoy teaching them - but I definitely think there is even more we could try to achieve with our team!”
“Lovely community feel. Even managed to be brave enough to do some networking. Will be back next year”.
