The AVNC 2026 Gala Dinner is thoughtfully curated as an evening of connection, celebration, and shared appreciation, inspired by the welcoming spirit of a Hari Raya open house. While not a traditional observance, the theme symbolises openness, hospitality, and togetherness — values that closely reflect the collaborative nature of the veterinary nursing and allied professional community.

​

Designed as a relaxed and festive gathering, the gala dinner provides delegates, speakers, partners, and guests with an opportunity to unwind after a day of academic exchange. In an informal setting beyond the conference halls, attendees are encouraged to engage in meaningful conversations, strengthen professional relationships, and connect across disciplines and borders.

​

Guests can look forward to a carefully curated selection of Malaysian cuisine, thoughtfully prepared to showcase the country’s rich culinary heritage. The evening will feature a welcoming dining arrangement and moments of informal networking, creating an atmosphere that is both celebratory and inclusive.

​

As a social highlight of AVNC 2026, the Gala Dinner serves not only as a memorable evening, but also as a celebration of unity, collaboration, and the shared commitment to advancing veterinary nursing across the region and beyond.
