FOCUS26 is a two-and-a-half-day program designed to elevate practice and empower physiotherapy. For more than a decade, the APA’s FOCUS conference has united physiotherapists passionate about shaping the future, and this year continues that legacy.

Led by respected voices and proudly delivered by your professional association, FOCUS26 will challenge your thinking, expand your expertise and connect you with leaders in physiotherapy. Expect evidence-informed insights, innovative ideas and practical strategies you can apply directly to clinical practice, research, education and business.

Whether you’re building a practice, growing a team or stepping into leadership, this event is your chance to gain fresh perspectives, bold ideas and actionable tools you can take straight back to your clinic, hospital or classroom.

Plan to be part of something bigger than business—join us at FOCUS26.
