About this Event
Our second ever global advocacy conference, in October 2025, was a great success. We have once again, listened to your positive feedback and brought it back for 2026!
Advocating for sustainable, lifelong CI services globally.
Building on the impact of our conferences in 2024 & 2025 in Brussels, our third conference will bring together the network of CI users, families, professionals, academics, industry, policy makers and funders together, to share our advocacy goals.
These and other issues will be addressed in a lively and vibrant two days, in this unique inclusive conference learning from each other and building collaboration across the globe.
As Astrid Van Wieringen, President of the International Federation of Audiology says "Where Science and Experience Meet" - come and join us!
