THE SESSIONS

26/3/2023

The first draft timings are above! Woohoo. There will be up to 3 different streams at once, so you can choose the session that lights you up and spark your interest. Don't worry, we have an awesome filming crew recording lots of the sessions so you can catch up on any that you miss; the ones not being filmed are the community chats. Here are some of the sessions that you have to look forward to. Then we end the day with an incredible workshop from the team at SpeakEasy. The programme is subject to slight changes.

Opening Keynote: Using Social Media for Good

With Hercule Van Wolfwinkle!

This session is sponsored by Vets Stay Go Diversify

​

How did a Facebook post, a new found passion for drawing (albeit badly!) and a dream of raising £299 for a local homelessness charity become a 250,000 people strong online community that has raised over a quarter of a million pound for a charity and turn one man's life upside down?

Captivating Clients: Turning Your Day into Content!

With Dr. Kirsten Ronngren, Many Pets.

This session is sponsored by ManyPets.

This session will provide actionable tips on turning your day in clinic (or elsewhere) into captivating content online! By using examples, you'll learn how to show your own personal energy and style, while tying in what you do on a daily basis into successful posts. We will also focus on providing reliable educational content in a fun way for pet owners.

Speaking About Emotive Topics Responsibly Online

With Dr. Rosie Allister

'The standard you walk past is the standard you accept'. Leadership can involve setting standards and role modelling. Sometimes this necessarily involves courage, being the one to speak up and say something isn't right. But online debate can be polarised, lack nuance, and tend towards shaming rather than achieving change. So how can we call out (or call in) effectively? What does being kind and courageous look like for veterinary leaders in online spaces? What evidence can help inform people who want to do good and set a standard in the way they communicate online? 

Everything is content!

This session is sponsored by PetsApp

Before she joined the PetsApp pack, she was involved in veterinary animal health brands such as Purina, VetzPetz and even Cath Kidston Pet, but she's joining us today to share tips and tricks into seeing how there is content in everything. She'll be leading an interactive content creation session covering content pillars and how to create multifaceted, high-value content with minimum effort.

Community Chats: Keeping content inclusive & accessible

With Scott Kilpatrick (vtx), Lacey Pitcher and Janika Patel

This session is sponsored by The Veterinary Thought Exchange (vtx)

Everyone is different, and that's a beautiful thing, yet how can we make sure we're considering others reading our content? From re-defining gold-standard in the cases we post to considering neurodiversity and ethnicity, diversity, and inclusion. In this session, our panelists will be sharing insights and perspectives to help us all moving forward.

Community Chats: Finding niches and finding balance online, real talk.

With Emily Holmes (Empowering Media Services), Lou Northway and Remi Onabolu.

This power trio of nurses with impactful stories will be sharing their insights and tips in this inspiring session.

'The Magic of Community - Why building online communities is powerful for your purpose'

With Ebony Escalona

There is power in community - whether as a creator or as a practice/business. We often think of our public digital platforms and the power of the online community is often overlooked. Did you know that a growing number of people around the world are finding meaning and a sense of belonging in online groups. According to the YouGov survey, in 11 out of 15 countries studied, the largest proportion of respondents reported the most important group to which they belong is a primarily online one.

In this talk, we'll cover strategies for building and maintaining a social presence including best practices to generate ROI. Discover how to effectively showcase your expertise and drive business through social media engagement.

Community Chats: Talking to Millions - Lessons Online

 With Cat Henstridge (aka Cat The Vet) and Robyn Lowe (Veterinary Voices)

​

Social media brings us huge amounts of positives: connection, information, reach and impact. However, it can also be the source of great volumes of misinformation. In veterinary medicine we discuss how we educate owners at their level, how we disseminate good quality information, how we advocate for animal health and welfare and how we 'talk to millions' to get the right information to where it is needed to create both individual and further reaching changes.
