Annual equine conference details announced
The sixth annual Equine Health and Science Conference is to be held by the Open College of Equine Studies over two days this spring.
The event, taking place on Friday 26 and Saturday 27 April, will be held at the West Wing of Ickworth House, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk – a new venue for the conference, due significantly growing interest.
Speakers at the event will include Dr David Brianbridge of Cambridge University, Professor W R (Twink) Allen and Professor Josh Slater of the Royal Veterinary College (RVC). The talks will cover a broad range of topics in equine health and science.
Organisers are expecting more than 250 people over the course of the two days, who will be strongly encouraged to join in with debates, alongside learning and networking.
The conference is charged at £180 (£150 for students) for the full two-day programme, and £99 (£85 for students) for a single day, and there is a 10 per cent discount for those who book their place before February 15 and a further 10 per cent "buddy-up" discount.
Full programme notes, plus tea/coffee and lunch will be provided. Tickets to a Friday night fun dinner are available at £55.
"We felt April was a good time of year to hold the conference and this year's programme looks to be the best ever with one or two special events planned," said Julia Brega, director of the Open College of Equine Studies and conference organiser.
