Dear colleagues and valued veterinary partners, 

We proudly announce the 37th Annual SiSAVA Symposium on Current small animal diseases. As usual, this is the perfect opportunity to meet colleagues, share thoughts and opinions, and come across new scientific facts in small animal medicine. With this year’s symposium, we would like to take a step further in acknowledging the meaning of cooperation and building a better future together. 

The symposium will traditionally take place in one of Slovenia’s coastal pearls, Portorož, from April 16 to April 18 2025. As usual, the event will present itself in a 3-day extended form with two or even three lecture streams simultaneously. The main themes of this year’s symposium are internal medicine, neurology, surgery, behaviorism, dentistry and dermatology. As a young and ambitious executive board team of the Slovenian small animal veterinary association, our primary goal is advancing the veterinary profession in Slovenia. Therefore, we aim to offer Slovenian vets and veterinary assistants the best lectures possible. We expect more than 300 delegates, over 30 exhibitors, and some world-renowned speakers such as  Fergus Allerton, Thomas Flegel, Laurent Findji, Gonçalo da Graça Pereira, Kirsti J.M. Schildt, Ana Nemec and Ana Rejec Jenček. The majority of lectures will be held in English language.

In Ljubljana, February 2026
