EVENT SCHEDULE...coming soon

We are still working on the schedule for the Chronic Pain Symposium 2026 - but please keep reading to find out some more info on what to expect...

Now a 3 day event!...

Lots of 2025 attendees filled in our feedback form, and we were able to make some changes in response to the comments.

The Chronic Pain Symposium 2026 will be a 3 day event instead of a 4 day event. This is so that people can attend the live event without the need to take time off work. It also makes for a slightly less intense schedule, which hopefully means a more engaging learning experience.

DAY 1 - Friday is Bitesize day!

Bitesize Day will be similar to last year in that all sessions will be available on demand from 8am. The change for 2026 is that the sessions will be available to watch for the WHOLE WEEKEND! This means that you can catch up on any you have missed in the break times or when the event has finished for the day.

DAY 2 - Saturday will have two concurrent streams of content...

With two very clear audiences (vet professionals and allied professionals) we want to be able to offer more relevant content. Vet professionals will have a full day of live lectures from world leading experts, with a more medical and practice based focus.

Allied professionals will have a full day of recorded lectures from world leading experts, with a focus on communication and collaboration.

DAY 3 - Sunday

The live lectures on Sunday will bring both audiences back together for some epic collaborative sessions utilising experts from several fields to solidify the #OneTeam approach.

Longer breaks

Many of our 2025 attendees suggested longer break times so they could grab food more easily or take the dog for a walk! Well we listened and have increased the number and duration of breaks over the weekend, giving you some more downtime throughout the day.

Perfect to grab those essential cups of tea!

On Demand Recordings

We will be publishing on demand recordings of each session around 2 hours after the lecture has ended. These recordings will be available THROUGHOUT THE EVENT! This is an upgrade to last year when they were available for just 24 hours. We hope this will give everyone ample time to catch up any they have missed, and if you are looking for even longer access to the recordings, VIPs get a full 12 months to watch at their leisure.

Don't forget! - the Chronic Pain Symposium is hosted in the BST (GMT + 1) timezone. Head to the website below to convert the times on the schedule into your timezone!

TICKET OPTIONS

We do not plan to simply educate. We plan to ENGAGE, EDUCATE, ENABLE and EMPOWER every attendee to become competent advocates of chronic pain management.

Through innovative "buddying up" lecture delivery, where we host leaders in the field of pain management with their colleagues and friends, attendees will immerse themselves in knowledge sharing, discussion and a tight network of clinicians and therapists where the primary goal is welfare through excellent pain management.

This dynamic delivery style echoes the #OneTeam approach required to challenge chronic pain as a cause of suffering in our companion animals.

Effective chronic pain management requires a transdisciplinary approach...

An approach transcending of disciplinary boundaries, a sharing of knowledge, skills and decision-making, a focus on real-world problems, and the inclusion of multiple stakeholders including patients, their families and their communities.

#OneTeam represents CAM's core philosophy for managing osteoarthritis in dogs: a collaborative, evolving, and patient-centred approach to chronic pain care.

With the field of pain management rapidly advancing—from early identification and diagnosis to cutting-edge interventional treatments and compassionate palliative care—it’s unrealistic for any one clinician to remain current and experienced in every aspect.

Our patients and clients not only expect high standards of care, but also value personalised options and informed choice.

#OneTeam embraces this demand by promoting a supportive, multidisciplinary environment where professionals freely share knowledge, skills, and experience—amongst themselves and with clients.

By working together, we deliver a more comprehensive, adaptable, and empathetic standard of care.

Our motto is 'CONTENT COMES FIRST', so no matter who our sponsors might be, our event content is dictated by the CAM ethos. In an era of misinformation, delegates can be reassured that our talks will be evidence based and led by scientific advancements rather than marketing or money.

Not forgetting all the Q&A opportunities, and the giveaways from our sponsors, this is an event not to be missed!

What time does the Symposium start each day?

We start bang on 8am each day. The morning will start with a welcome and intro from Hannah Capon, CAM Founder and our host for the event. We will be hot on timekeeping so no early starts or late finishes!

Will I be able to watch any lectures that I have missed?

Yes! We will make an On Demand version of each session available around 2 hours after each one has ended. That On Demand recording will then be available for the ENTIRE WEEKEND, so that people in any timezone have a chance to watch the full event. Once the event is over, the videos will only be available to our VIP ticket holders who will have access to all the recordings for a full 12 months.

I am a VIP ticket holder, how soon after the event has ended can I start watching the recordings?

We aim to have all the videos edited and published on the CAM Education site within one week of the event ending. Selected translations will take a little longer, but also be uploaded to the CAM education site and available to our VIP ticket holders. We will send the access details for this platform once the videos have been uploaded.

Are there any breaks?

Yes! Each session is followed by a break, some breaks will be longer than others. Lunch will be a full hour.

Can I watch the CPS26 from anywhere in the world?

We have done our best to make the education in this event as accessible as possible. As this is an online event, if you have a computer and the internet, you can watch from *most* countries. Sadly there are a few countries that are unable to access the event live, but the recordings are available to them via our VIP ticket.

Just a quick note of congratulations for a smashing launch of your conference! I had it streaming today so I could just sit and listen in between cases. It just wrapped, so you all deserve to have a pint, take a breath, and know that you are changing lives!

This was the WOODSTOCK of vet professional meetings. Superb "music" (talks and knowledge) surrounded by people from all over the world full of love and peace...and it will still be spoken about for many many years!!!!

What you achieved was flipping awesome! The benefit to us all as practitioners is indescribable let alone so many animals. So glad I have the recordings to keep referring back to.

The whole symposium has been amazing! I have been completely hooked! I only intended to watch a few sessions live as I have three children I should be feeding and walking. But the poor kids have been in front of the telly all weekend eating snacks! I just wanted to say a massive congratulations.

Dr Alison Holdam BVM&S MRCVS

Thank you so much for your role in organizing the Chronic Symposium 2025 and making it possible to access valuable learning. As an undergraduate veterinary student, I found the session incredibly insightful- it offered a depth and clarity that went far beyond my academic experience. It was inspiring to see such meaningful collaboration to deliver the best knowledge out there, involving top veterinary professionals worldwide. I'm inspired by your work and would value the opportunity to engage or continuously learn from you in the future
