Reimagining Rehab 2026

September 30, 2026

One day. Big ideas. Different perspectives. Real conversations about where rehabilitation goes next.

We've labelled it a conference for simplicity's sake. What we're really creating is a gathering of collective intelligence—bringing together the people who are shaping, delivering, funding, supporting, and advocating for rehabilitation.

Come ready to challenge assumptions, learn from colleagues, make connections, and leave with ideas you can actually use.

Unlock the Hive

The formal agenda ends. The conversations don't.

Connect with speakers, colleagues, sponsors, and new contacts as we continue the exchange of ideas over drinks and conversation.

WHY BE THERE?

Because the future of rehabilitation won't be shaped by one organization—or one profession.

It will be shaped by people willing to share ideas, challenge assumptions, collaborate across disciplines, and try something different.

Come for the speakers.  Connect with conference sponsors and exhibitors.

Stay for the conversations.

Leave with new connections, practical ideas, and a different perspective on what's possible.
