Each year - usually in the autumn - the BVCS organises a conference. We normally invite a leading authority from around the world as a guest speaker, and the programme includes practical sessions as well as discussions and debate. There is also time for members to present interesting cases from their own experience, research findings and other reports.

The 2008 conference will take place in October in the Plymouth area. Guest speaker will be Dr William Vivanco from Peru. Practical sessions will be held at nearby Popham Alpacas.
