What is AVA Summit?
An international conference series for advocates working towards systemic change and advancing various strategies toward one shared vision: removing animals from our food system and other human uses.
Who is AVA Summit for?
AVA Summit is for advocates at any stage working toward systemic change for farmed animals — including NGO staff, campaigners, researchers, funders, students, communications professionals, policy practitioners, grassroots organizers, and emerging leaders seeking to deepen impact and collaborate across the region.

Do you need financial assistance to attend?
Cost should never be a barrier to creating change for farmed animals.
Through the support of our donors, AVA Summit offers Travel Award Scholarships to reduce financial barriers for participation. AVA strives to ensure that advocates in need can access at least one Summit per year by providing funding at different levels. If support would make it possible for you to attend, you are encouraged to apply.
Travel Award applications open on November 29, 2026
