Four pre-congress labs were held in Friday April 12, at Porto Palace hotel and the Companion Animal Clinic of the School of Veterinary Medicine of Aristotle University of Thessaloniki.

The Opening Ceremony was dedicated to the memory of our former HCAVS President and beloved teacher of many of us, Professor Timoleon Rallis who passed away in 2018.
