Research Conference 2026 – Save the date and Call for Proposals 

We are delighted to announce that we’ll be running an online Research Conference in the Autumn again this year. This will be our fourth Research Conference. Previous keynote speakers include Professor Mick Cooper, Dr Una McCluskey and Dr David Trickey along with IACP members presenting and discussing their excellent research on an array of topics. A taste of feedback from attendees at the 2025 Research Conference: 

All the presentations were excellent and very informative. The atmosphere was very warm and open. It was the best conference I've been at.

I really appreciate that we have a research conference yearly. Hearing from experts in the area but also those who are students and have the passion put into adding to our profession’s body of knowledge. It’s a great mix and really made the day so enriching for me professionally but also personally in ways. Thank you to the organising team.

We are putting out a Call for Proposals to the IACP membership for research presentations on the day. Please note that if you are interested in submitting a proposal for consideration, the closing date is April 30th.
