In just under two weeks’ time, on Wednesday 25 November, we will be welcoming guests and speakers to The Links Group 25th Anniversary Conference in Coin Street, London, SE1 9NH.
We are delighted to announce that the keynote speaker section will be delivered by Baroness Hayman of Ullock, Parliamentary Under‑Secretary of State at the UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, and Danny Chambers, MP and veterinary surgeon.
The day is fully booked and we are operating a waiting list policy should places suddenly become available. So if you registered interest through our website, there’s still the possibility of joining us. If you haven’t had confirmation from us, we thank you in advance for your understanding that due to the nature of the venue and its capacity, we are unable to accept walk-ins – please contact us if you’re unsure.
Registration will begin from 9am for those who have a confirmed place, with the programme beginning with a welcome and introduction from Chair Dr. Paula Boyden, FRCVS at 9.30am. There will be a mixture of in-person and pre-recorded talks, time for networking and conversations, as well as panel sessions for discussion before the programme closes at 5pm.
Our speakers include representatives from the NSPCC, RSPCA, SafeLives, the legal profession, forensics, research, The Links Group and more. You can see more detail on our conference page here, and on our social channels.
In addition to the opportunities for networking through the day, we will have an evening reception until 7pm. Please be sure to let us know if you’re able to join us for that so that we have enough drinks and nibbles to support the conversations after a long day!
We hope to be able to provide recordings of key presentations after the event for those who have registered interest but who, due to capacity or changes in circumstance, are unable to join us in person. We look forward to sharing more information about our upcoming training days for 2027, and there are many free resources available to watch or download on our learning hub.
We are extremely grateful again to our partners MSD Animal Health UK, Dogs Trust and Cats Protection, and supporters ADM Protexin Ltd., Forte Healthcare, and IDEXX, who have made this conference possible. Thanks too to Pets Foundation for their support of our team, and to BSAVA for producing the name badges.
The team at The Links Group are thrilled with the response to our conference so far from the veterinary, animal welfare and safeguarding sectors. We look forward to welcoming you to our 25th Anniversary Conference, and sharing with you the progress of our work over the last 25 years in Protecting Animals, Protecting People.
