Annual Meeting

We are delighted to announce that the BAD has chosen to deliver the 106th BAD Annual Meeting as an in person meeting at the Manchester Central, with virtual access to all content available after the meeting on a virtual platform.

We hope that this will allow all registrants to access the excellent Annual Meeting programme.

The Annual Meeting will launch on 30 June, with pre-conference sessions on Monday 29 June. We are aiming to have as many people in person (30 June – 2 July) as possible, but with a strong aim on sustainability. Some overseas speakers will be offered the opportunity to present remotely. Delegates will then have access post event to enable them to view CPD accredited (subject to approval) educational content in their own time.

The virtual platform will be launched two weeks after the live event and we will be applying for CPD accreditation for 6 months.

Sponsored symposia sessions are not included in the CPD credits

Electronic Travel Authorisation (ETA)

ETAs will be mandatory for travel to the UK and are being introduced in several stages for different nationalities, over the next few months.

Each individual visitor is responsible for ensuring they have their own correct authorisation to enter the UK.

Delegates

The registration system will be open in February 2026. Please note that all physical attendees will be able to access the virtual platform, join us for BADfest (subject to a fee), visit the physical exhibition and enjoy catering as well as the networking opportunities.
