Residential conferences

In 2021, APIL’s annual clinical negligence conference will be held from 21-23 September at the Celtic Manor Resort in Newport, South Wales. This event will be a hybrid event, which means that delegates will have the opportunity to either attend in person or alternatively, they can view the event virtually, via APIL’s conference app. All delegates will have full access to the conference app and this new feature will play an important role in the event, giving our sponsors and exhibitors even more opportunity than ever before to keep in touch with the conference attendees.

Sponsorship and exhibition packages are limited and we expect them to sell quickly. If you would like to attend, we would urge you to book now to avoid disappointment!

Due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, our 2021 advanced brain and spinal cord injury conference will be held as two separate one day virtual conferences. Sponsorship opportunities will be available for both of these events.
