About London Vet Show
London Vet Show is a two-day veterinary conference and exhibition at ExCeL London, organised by CloserStill Media, which describes it as Europe's largest veterinary exhibition and conference. It combines a large education programme with an exhibition covering almost everything a veterinary practice buys.
Exhibitors include pharmaceutical and animal health companies, pet nutrition brands, diagnostic laboratories and imaging specialists, medical device and equipment suppliers, practice management software providers, pet insurers and financial services, recruitment firms and educational providers. Products span small animal, equine, exotics and farm practice.
Visitors are vets, veterinary nurses and practice managers working across those species areas. The education programme runs to several hundred hours of content in streams covering small and large animal medicine, exotics, farm and equine practice, nursing and practice management, and attendees can collect CPD-accredited hours. Wet labs, workshops, peer learning groups and awards add to the programme.
That educational core is the reason many clinicians make the trip, and it gives exhibitors access to people who directly influence purchasing and prescribing decisions in their practices. For companies supplying veterinary practices, the show is a key date to launch products, meet clinical and commercial decision makers and build relationships with practice groups. Because visitors are moving between lectures, stands that offer quick clinical value, such as short demonstrations or case-based conversations, tend to hold attention.

London Vet Show 2026: what to expect
London Vet Show 2026 takes place at ExCeL London on 19 and 20 November. The organiser expects more than 7,000 veterinary professionals, over 425 exhibitors and more than 450 speakers, with up to 17 CPD-accredited hours available to attendees.
Features for 2026 include wet labs and workshops, The Studio, Community Masterminds peer learning groups, a New Practice Academy, the 30 Under Thirty awards and the Bright Minds Award UK.
Doors open at 8.15am on both days, so stands need to be fully dressed and staffed early to catch delegates before the first sessions. Many visitors are clinicians who have taken time out of practice, so quick, clinically relevant conversations work better than long sales presentations.
