From November 19 to 21, 2026, Barcelona hosts the AVEPA-SEVC Congress 2026, the leading annual gathering for veterinarians specialising in companion and exotic animals. The CCIB will bring together clinicians and international specialists for three days centred on knowledge, innovation and teamwork. If you’re coming for the congress, here’s what you need to know — and why Hotel Arc La Rambla is a great option for your stay.
Two Decades of SEVC, Celebrated in Barcelona
This edition brings together the 61st AVEPA National Congress (Spanish Association of Small Animal Veterinary Specialists) with the 20th Southern European Veterinary Conference (SEVC), a special occasion marking two decades of growth and commitment to excellence in veterinary education. The congress’s mission is to bring the entire European companion animal veterinary community to the highest levels of professional practice, showcasing the latest products, services and equipment at Europe’s largest veterinary trade exhibition.

All rooms offer simultaneous translation, making the knowledge accessible to attendees from different countries and languages — the previous edition, held in Seville, drew around 450 international professionals from more than 35 countries.
Rest Near the Fòrum After the Sessions
After an intense day of training, it helps to come back to somewhere calm and well connected. Hotel Arc La Rambla is a one-minute walk from Drassanes metro station (L3), with a direct connection to L4 towards El Maresme | Fòrum. And once the day is done, the Gothic Quarter, Port Vell and Las Ramblas are all a short walk from the hotel.
