SPVS are delighted to announce that award-winning speaker and best-selling author, Richard Gerver, will open their 2026 Congress taking place 26 to 27 February at the Hilton Birmingham Metropole.
As an expert on change management and leadership, Richard is ideal kick-off the event, where the theme will be “Adapt, evolve, succeed” – by together embracing growth and change in uncertain times, we can succeed both professionally and personally.
From transforming the fortunes of a failing school in just two years, to advising governments and corporations such as Google and Microsoft, Richard has never failed to inspire. Sign up to SPVS Congress now to take advantage of the early bird ticket prices and make sure you don’t miss Richard’s engaging, thought provoking and dynamic opening to the UK’s leading veterinary leadership and management event.
Registration and event information can be found here. Early-bird prices start at just £395 for the full event, with further group bundles and day tickets available. Passes include access to four streams of lectures, the Congress exhibition, complimentary refreshments, and hot lunches.
