About the Veterinary Congress (TÄK)
The Leipzig Veterinary Congress is held every two years and is an absolute success story. In 2020, the 10th anniversary event took place, so the TÄK has been around for 20 years.
The congress is an advanced training event in veterinary medicine and is the most diverse and best-attended of its kind in the whole of Germany. Visitors come from all over the German-speaking world. The TÄK addresses practitioners and veterinarians in the livestock and pet sector, as well as veterinarians from public institutions, the veterinary profession, science and industry. The opening event with welcoming and keynote speeches will be carried by big names from the industry, and keynote speeches will round off the opening programme of the veterinary congress.
The veterinary congress is organised by the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Leipzig, the veterinary chambers in Thuringia, Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Brandenburg, Berlin and Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, and Leipziger Messe GmbH, in whose halls the event is also being held. The Congress Center Leipzig (CCL) is the perfect venue: modern, short distances and a pleasant ambience with capacity for a large trade fair.
The four-day congress programme is impressive: The focus of the veterinary congress is on topics such as the public perception of the veterinary profession or the cooperation of the veterinary chambers. The fields of the veterinary profession are extremely diverse, and there are more than 470 lectures and further education courses on the animals themselves, but also on comprehensive topics such as law, animal protection as well as epidemics or toxicology.
From "Tooth extractions in cats" or "Fracture care made easy" to "Internal emergencies" and forensic topics such as "Animal welfare law and ethics", there are countless lectures that can be booked.
