SonoPath Summit 2026 May 8-10 Vienna

Join SonoPath in majestic Vienna, Austria, for the 4th Annual International Summit—an exclusive weekend CE event uniting veterinary professionals and thought leaders in diagnostic imaging and internal medicine. 

Welcome to the SONOPATH SUMMIT 2026

The Best Is Yet To Come

Held in the stunning Billrothhaus, a venue that blends historic elegance with modern luxury, this limited-capacity Summit features four world-renowned speakers delivering expert lectures on some of the most critical and frequently encountered challenges in veterinary diagnostics. Topics will include advanced techniques for diagnosing pericardial effusion and neoplasia, nuanced evaluation of Myxomatous Mitral Valve Disease with emphasis on left heart size quantification and Doppler assessment, and in-depth sessions on thoracic imaging.

Expand your abdominal ultrasound proficiency through targeted discussions on gastrointestinal lesions: tumor or not?, as well as focused explorations of the pancreas, kidneys, and hepatobiliary system. You will also gain practical tools through an evidence-based, simplified abdominal ultrasound protocol and review classic and commonly missed abdominal pathology. 

Whether you’re looking to sharpen your imaging skills or connect with a global network of elite colleagues, this is the must-attend event of 2026. The countdown to registration has begun!

Welcome to the Billrothhaus

Located in the heart of Vienna, the classic architecture of the Billrothhaus is elegant, striking in its aesthetic appeal and your perfect lecture hall. We’ll see you there!

About the Billrothhaus

Since 1893, The Billrothhaus is the historical location for modern events. Located in the heart of Vienna, the classic architecture of the Billrothhaus is elegant and striking in its aesthetic appeal.

The Billrothhaus was therefore constructed between 1891 and 1893 according to the plans of the architect Ludwig Richter. Built in the neo-Renaissance style, it has five axes. 

At the building’s inauguration on 27 October 1893, Billroth opened his speech with the famous words, ‘Now we’re finally in a home of our own!’ Since the opening of the Billrothhaus, it has been a place where the latest medical and scientific findings have been presented and discussed by experts. The name ‘Billrothhaus’ wasn’t chosen until 26 years later, in 1919, when Anton von Eiselsberg was President of the College.

Join us for the Welcome Reception

Let's hear it from you - SonoPath Summit 2024

Aside from learning very practical things, I loved how well organized everything was. I definitely feel I got what I came for. The location was perfect, the venues were well put together. I wouldn’t change a thing. My wish is that future Summit will be just as good.
