Each year AVC attracts a list of world-class speakers to deliver informative and educational lectures and workshops, assisting you to advance your practice, your patient care, and your knowledge of therapeutic, clinical and equipment developments.

Breakfast seminars, networking opportunities, and CPD points are all part of what makes this flagship event a highlight of the profession's social calendar.
