PET-VET 2012:
Definite date
Under the motto “practical, modern
and high-quality”, PET-VET, the
specialist conference for veterinarians
with industrial exhibition and accompanying
events, will take place for
the 14th consecutive year on 1 and 2
December 2012.
The unique programme of presentations
with prominent speakers, in
conjunction with a comprehensive industrial
exhibition, has proven itself
over many years. Around 70 exhibitors
will this year again present their
products from the fields of medical
technology, laboratory diagnostics,
food, dietary supplements and surgery
requirements. For the main theme of
the congress “soft tissue surgery”, the
Bundesverband Praktizierender Tierärzte
e. V. (bpt) (German Association
of Practising Veterinarians) will present
renowned specialists as speakers.
Modern technology has long since found
its way into many veterinary practices.
The Diabetes Congress is just one of many medical events in the ICS.
ICS International Congress Center Stuttgart:
A popular address for medical congresses
The ICS at Landesmesse Stuttgart
is developing to become one of Germany's
most sought-after addresses
in the field of medicine. One example
among many: The Diabetes Congress
2012, at which in May this year over
6,000 participants in more than
100 workshops and symposiums
exchanged ideas on current developments
in research and treatment of
the widespread illness diabetes.
The congress was accompanied by an
exhibition on 10,000 square metres
which presented 65 companies, and
also held a “join-in event” on the
theme of diabetes. The Diabetes Congress
took place for the second time
after 2010 in the ICS.
Since the opening of the ICS in 2007,
many events have been held on the
Filder. For example, the annual conference
of the German Society for
Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery
(DGTHG) took place in three consecutive
years from 2009 to 2011. The
annual conference of the German
Society for Senology is coming to
Stuttgart for the second time after
2008. This year, the 85th scientific
annual conference of the German
Association for Orthodontics, the
annual conference of the German,
Austrian and Swiss Societies for
Haematology and Oncology, and the
German Spine Congress are all part
of the event calendar.
