BVNA Congress Changes Location
Telford International Centre
BVNA will be moving their annual Congress from Kettering to Telford.

The British Veterinary Nursing Association has announced that they are moving their congress to a new venue. In 2012, the annual BVNA Congress will take place at Telford International Centre.

TIC will provide a modern venue with full conference facilities as well as onsite hotels and a range of alternative accommodation within walking distance of the venue.

Angela Mariconda, the Association Manager, commented: "The decision to change the location of a well-established and successful event was not an easy one to make, but TIC offers many advantages over the previous venue, including purpose-built lecture theatres, excellent exhibition space and a wide selection of hotels from budget to luxury."
 
The new venue promises not only be more convenient in terms of location and facilities, but will also enable further growth of the scientific lecture programme and provide greater value for delegates.
 
Further information will be available in January and delegates will be able to register from April 2012.
