Upcoming Conferences

This Congress provides an opportunity to come together in person to learn and to share knowledge across a broad range of themes. It also provides a valuable occasion to connect with new and existing colleagues, to widen professional and social networks and to enjoy the company of friends. The Spanish Association of Physiotherapists (AEF) will be our hosts in Madrid, on 5-6 November 2026. The programme promises to be diverse and exciting, based as it is, on the themes of the Region’s permanent working groups: Advocacy & EU Matters, Education & Research and Professional Practice.

Whether this is your first or sixth Europe Region Congress, a warm welcome awaits you in Madrid. I hope you will return home enthused by new knowledge to apply, new experiences to savour, new professional connections to develop and new friendships to cherish.

Start planning and see you in Madrid!
