The conference will be launching its new event app for 2024 which will provide exhibitors withwith a new platform and more opportunities to promote their products and services.
Attendance: In 2023 over 150 therapists from the UK and Europe attended our conference. Therapists have always fed back that they enjoyed the opportunity to meet exhibitors and view a variety of products that are on the market. We hope therefore, that we can provide you with an excellent platform on which to discuss, display and promote your products and services to them.
