25 Years of Compassionate Advocacy

25th Anniversary Conference

25 years of Protecting Animals, Protecting People

The Links Group 25th Anniversary Conference has now reached capacity, and we will have a full house on 25 November 2026.

We realise that many of those who have registered their interest for the event will be disappointed, but should spaces become available closer to the day itself, those on this waiting list will be contacted, so please do keep an eye on your inbox and on our social pages for further information.

Due to the number of people who have expressed an interest in joining us and learning more about the work and impact of The Links Group over the last 25 years, we have been working to provide other ways to catch up on the proceedings.

We are hoping to be able to provide recordings of key presentations after the event. We will also soon be in a position to share more information about our upcoming training days for 2027, and there are many free resources available to watch or download on our learning hub.

Huge thanks 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.

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 sharing more news of speakers, supporters and the agenda over the coming weeks, both on our website and through our social media channels, so follow us to find out more about Protecting Animals, Protecting People.
