Open Forum Meetings

These are all-day events which focus on a specific topic relevant to ABI. Each event includes a number of presentations from a range of speakers, followed by workshop events. Attendance at SHIF’s events, which includes lunch, is free to SHIF members and to people with ABI and their carers. Non members and members who have used their allocation of free places are welcome to attend at a charge of £30.

Whenever possible, we will have the speakers' presentations available on this site after each event.
