International Conference on Avian, Herpetological, Exotic Mammal, Zoo and Wildlife Medicine 2024

Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of the Organising Committee of the ICARE 2024, we are pleased to invite you to join us in Ghent, Belgium, 20-24 May 2024 for the 6thInternational Conference on Avian, Herpetological, Exotic Mammal, Zoo and Wildlife Medicine.

We will combine an exciting conference covering the latest information, review and key stone lectures, as well as wet labs and masterclasses. A programme is being put together with renowned international speakers and will be available soon. The conference, as usual, will attract a wide range of delegates, including specialists, professionals, clinicians, scientists, students, veterinary nurses, animal caretakers and decision makers.

Ghent, once medieval Europe’s second largest city, over the past century this unsung treasure of a town has developed a strong artistic bent, and is now one of the best places in Europe for culture – there are many fantastic museums and galleries here, and more listed buildings than any other Belgian city. Ghent’s architecture is elegant and imposing, particularly along the scenic old Graslei harbour, and grand medieval cathedrals and the Gravensteen castle congregate nicely around the central public squares.

ICARE 2024 is taking place at the Bijloke site in Ghent. It had been a centre of health care for centuries, now it is a unique arts and culture campus in the middle of an impressive historic building complex on the banks of the river Leie. The Bijloke site really has it all: characterful historic rooms, up-to-date facilities, and great services and catering.

So on behalf of ICARE and the rest of the Organising Committee we look forward to welcoming you to Ghent!

Yours faithfully,

Gunther Antonissen, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ECPVS                                 An Martel, DVM, PhD, Dipl. ECZM (Wildlife Population Health)

Local Organising Committee Chair                                                      Local Organising Committee Co-Chair

The European Association of Avian Veterinarians (EAAV) is an independent, international, professional organisation of practitioners advancing and promoting avian medicine, stewardship, and conservation through education of its members, the veterinary community and those they serve. It was formed in the 1990s by European members of the Association of Avian Veterinarians (AAV - based in the USA) as a self-reliant committee of AAV. In 2014, EAAV was newly formed as a self-sustaining European organisation. However, EAAV liaises closely with other International associations for avian, reptilian, amphibian, exotic pet and zoo animal medicine. EAAV is comprised of veterinarians from private practice, zoos, universities and industry, as well as allied personnel, technicians and students.
