UKABIF is pleased to offer space for poster presentations at the 2026 UKABIF Summit. We welcome submissions on any non-commercial topic related to acquired brain injury. This is a valuable opportunity to share your work with professionals, families, carers, and individuals with lived experience.

You are also invited to enter the UKABIF Poster Award. This award looks for designs which are able to communicate the project effectively to a non-specialist audience, making it ideal for research projects that need to be explained in a clear and accessible manner.  This award is open to posters that have been presented at previous events and the winner will be rewarded with £100, free UKABIF membership for one year and free admission to the 2027 conference.
