RFVS 10TH INTERNATIONAL ANNUAL CONFERENCE
BEHAVIOUR AND NUTRITION: FROM THE INSIDE OUT
TWO EVENTS IN ONE
- Location: Aberystwyth, wales
- DATE: 19TH – 20TH JULY 2024
For the first time we are joining our two annual events into one big summer seaside event where new real food enthusiasts can join the more experienced. We want to connect as one supportive community and share our knowledge and have some fun.
We are all looking at food in a different way, we finally understand that what we eat has an impact on the way we live our lives. It is time to do the same for our animal companions. This is why the topic for this year’s conference is Nutrition & Behaviour: from the inside, out.
For those just learning about species appropriate nutrition we are hosting the Are You Raw Curious event live for the first time with The Best Advice on Raw. If you are new to this event, you can always look at our previous conferences on our website.
On Friday evening, we host a traditional Welsh Noson Lawen – similar to an open mic. If you are a musician, comedian, dancer, poet, magician etc, the only rule for the night is to lose all shyness and enjoy yourself. On Saturday evening, we share an informal buffet and drinks.
Time and Dates:
- Are You Raw Curious 19th July – 3 pm – 7 pm
- 10th Annual International Conference 20th July from 8:45 am- 5:45 pm
