iCatCare unveils new format for World Feline Congress 2026

International Cat Care has opened registration and released more programme details for World Feline Congress 2026, which will run June 26-28, 2026, at ICC Wales in Newport, South Wales. The feline-focused CPD meeting is introducing a new day-by-day structure, with Friday dedicated to gastrointestinal disease, Saturday to respiratory disease, and Sunday to cardiology. iCatCare says delegates will be able to mix and match content across State of the Art, Advanced Level, and Clinical Practice sessions, and it’s also offering both three-day and one-day tickets, held at 2025 rates. The organization has framed the redesign as a way to make the meeting more flexible for veterinary professionals at different career stages and in different roles. (improveinternational.com)

Why it matters: For veterinary teams, the changes are less about a routine conference launch and more about how feline CPD is being packaged. A themed daily structure may make it easier for clinicians, nurses, and other team members to target a specific area of practice without committing to the full meeting, while the continued emphasis on cat-friendly care keeps the congress aligned with iCatCare’s broader educational mission. That matters in a market where practices are balancing staff time, travel costs, and demand for more practical, species-specific education. The congress is also maintaining a research element: iCatCare issued a call for abstracts for novel feline clinical work, with accepted posters eligible for a Delegates’ Choice Best Poster Award.

What to watch: Watch for the final speaker lineup, accepted abstracts after the April 20, 2026 notification date, and whether the new one-day ticket model broadens attendance beyond the congress’s usual feline-focused audience. (icatcare.org)
