The NIHR Academy Members’ Conference 2026 will be held on 6 and 7 October. This will be a hybrid event with in-person attendance at The Queens Hotel, Leeds, and online streaming for a virtual audience.

The title of this year’s conference is NIHR20 – The future is digital: revolutionising health and care research.

The annual event is a fantastic opportunity for early career researchers to hear from inspiring speakers, network with peers and understand more about the NIHR. The conference will include a packed schedule of keynote speakers, panel discussions, breakout sessions and networking opportunities.
