Residential conferences

In 2020, APIL will run two residential conferences to celebrate its 30th year – APIL’s special 30th anniversary conference in May; and then our annual clinical negligence conference in October.

The 30th anniversary conference will incorporate both the APIL annual conference and the advanced brain and spinal cord injury conference. This event has received a phenomenal response and whilst all sponsorship and standard exhibition packages have already sold out, we have now released some non-residential exhibition packages; to give you another chance to be involved!

Places on both conferences are selling quickly, so if you would like to attend, we would urge you to book now to avoid disappointment!
