The VetFest activity which is packaged with a Talkshow concept and carries the theme “Joint Synergy to Create Animal Welfare” is expected to make the public more concerned about the health of their pets and understand the dangers of various cases of diseases that can attack their pets.
In the Talkshow concept, the participants who attend will be in a virtual room and then watch the interactive talk between the speakers and the moderator so that the event becomes more active.
Questions will not only come from the moderator, but participants will also have many opportunities to ask the speakers which will certainly open up new insights for the participants presented.
