The annual Dutch Veterinary Oncology Conference will proceed in 2022:

The topic will be on GASTRO-INTESTINAL TUMORS, titled “Let’s look at the treatment menu!”

The congress will be held on Saturday 12 and Sunday 13 February 2022.

Due to the changing times caused by COVID-19, requests by colleagues to be able to follow online from home and the digital possibilities, the ONCOlogisch Treffen Congress will be a held as a hybrid congress for the first time, meaning that it will be held onsite and online at the same time. Sessions will be recorded for later on-demand viewing.

UPDATE 23/01/2022: according to the current regulations of the Dutch Government, we can only have 37 people onsite. With our own team, the speakers, the technical people and the people already registered, that number is reached (on Tuesday 25 January new rules will be decided, so this number can hopefully change). Therefor, the congress will proceed as a hybrid congress (onsite and online), but we cannot take anymore attendees onsite (unless the number changes on Tuesday 25 January). So, all new registrations are for the synchronous live online congress and later on-demand viewing. 

If, for some COVID reason, the onsite congress cannot take place, it will immediately be switched to a full online congress.

The preliminary program can be found below on this page or here in pdf.
