Over the past few months, our Content Producer has been busy conducting research calls with past attendees, speakers, and exhibitors, holding advisory board meetings with our esteemed steering committee, picking through feedback survey comments and monitoring social media, news platforms, and blogs to stay on top of the sector’s latest innovations, new research, and new practices. 

At this point in the process, we also ensure to work closely with our education partners to ensure all the educational needs of our attendees are catered for.  

Using all of these insights, a topic list is then shaped that reflects the priorities, challenges, innovations and success stories in the sector which take the form of topic streams. This year’s topic streams include:  

• Sports, Exercise & Fitness 

• Business Growth & Career Development  

• Ethics, Professionalism & Clinical Reasoning  

• Modalities & Techniques 

• Specific Conditions  

With the developed topic streams, the programme then begins to take shape, curated theatre-by-theatre, with a careful mix of established experts and exciting new voices.  

We then continue working closely with every speaker and panellist to ensure each session delivers maximum value, and all the guidance delivered is up-to-date and accurate.   

This year, we are introducing our very own Practical Skills Space with hands-on demonstration and workshop-style sessions. Content in here will fall largely into the Modalities & Techniques topic stream. 

We are also introducing a brand-new Business Advice Theatre with a whole stream of content dedicated to delivering guidance and advice for growing your business and developing your career. With private clinic owners making up a large percentage of our audience, this topic stream was highly demanded.   

With the first wave of sessions and speakers now live, register for your pass now and begin planning your educational experience…
