VMX 2026 is well underway in Orlando and, as expected, it’s setting the agenda for where veterinary medicine is heading next. As one of the largest international gatherings in the profession, the event is giving vets an early look at the products, ideas, and technologies that are likely to influence everyday practice in the years ahead.
This year’s exhibition floor is packed with developments in veterinary nutrition, particularly new therapeutic diets designed to support long-term conditions such as diabetes and other chronic illnesses. Alongside this, leading manufacturers are unveiling the latest advances in clinical technology — from refined surgical equipment to smarter anaesthesia and patient monitoring systems aimed at improving safety and outcomes.
There’s also plenty of buzz around upcoming product launches from specialist pet health companies, including new ranges focused on preventative care and wellbeing.
Beyond the technology, VMX’s education programme — running under the theme Champions of Care — is placing a strong emphasis on proactive, whole-life approaches to animal health. Sessions are centred on extending quality of life, improving long-term outcomes, and supporting vets as they adapt to a rapidly evolving profession.
