Abstract: Registration has opened for the Veterinary Management Group (VMG) Congress 2025, set to take place on 24 and 25 April at the Crowne Plaza, Stratford-upon-Avon.The event aims to inspire and equip the next generation of veterinary leaders while challenging experienced leaders with insights into emerging trends and advanced strategies.The congress will feature three streams:• Building foundations: designed for new and aspiring leaders, offering insights into leadership fundamentals.• Expanding horizons: for experienced leaders, addressing topics such as 'quiet quitting', combating misinformation and exploring service expansion opportunities.• Discovering opportunities: workshops and panel discussions, including the launch of the second VMG State of UK Veterinary Leadership report.The first edition highlighted significant gaps in leadership skills, with only 1 per cent of respondents rating their expertise as 'excellent'.Keynote speaker Calvin Akotuah, cofounder of Loud Speaker and a finalist in the 2023 Great British Entrepreneur Awards, will deliver a talk on resilience, motivation and fostering positive change.Returning highlights include morning 'walkshops' along the River Avon and a positive psychology workshop by Art of Brilliance.The VMG has also introduced a discounted 'aspiring leader' package to encourage attendance by emerging leaders.
