About the Conference

The International Paediatric Brain Injury Society (IPBIS) is pleased to announce that IPBIS2020, the Fourth International Conference on Paediatric Acquired Brain Injury, will be held October 6 - 9, 2021 in New York City. This international event builds on the success of IPBIS’s prior conferences held in Liverpool (2015), Rome (2017) and Belfast (2018).

Outstanding Education

The conference will focus on the development of innovative treatments, rehabilitation programs, support mechanisms and ways to improve the lives and potential of young people affected by brain injury. The educational program will be inclusive of all issues relating to paediatric brain injury, both traumatic (e.g., external physical force injuries, penetrating injuries) and atraumatic (e.g., infectious diseases, tumors, stroke, neurotoxic poisonings).

Unparalleled Networking Opportunities

This global event will provide a unique opportunity for establishing collegial relationships with other international professionals focused on the care of children and young adults with brain injury and/or the science of paediatric brain injury research.

The conference offers an unparalleled platform to share scientific results, explore new treatment paradigms, develop new friendships and form new collaborations.
