Practical teaching area ballot now open

Step away from the lecture halls and into the practical teaching area at BEVA Congress 2025, a dedicated space for small-group, hands-on learning led by experienced clinicians.

How to secure your place

Spaces are limited and always in high demand, so places will be allocated via ballot.

• Enter the ballot by Tuesday 2 September 2025 (you need to have already registered to attend BEVA Congress)

• Successful applicants will be notified on Friday 5 September 2025

• If you are not selected, you'll be placed on a waiting list and contacted if a space becomes available

To ensure everyone has a fair chance to benefit from these sessions, we've introduced a £20 no-show fee. This will only apply if you do not attend your allocated session and haven't cancelled in advance. We know plans can change, so withdrawing your place will be quick and easy if needed.
