The ICARE 2024 conference in Ghent brought together veterinary professionals specializing in avian, herpetological, exotic mammal, zoo, and wildlife medicine. Held at the historic Bijloke site, the conference spanned from May 20-24, 2024, and featured a robust program of masterclasses, hands-on workshops, keynote lectures, and poster presentations.

Workshops on topics like avian histopathology and exotic mammal care, along with basic training sessions, catered to both experienced professionals and those newer to the field. The main conference covered in-depth topics across various species and provided opportunities for networking and knowledge sharing among international experts.
