The International Paediatric Brain Injury Society (IPBIS) is pleased to announce that the Fifth Biennial International Conference on Paediatric Acquired Brain Injury will be held in Glasgow, Scotland, from 18-21 September, 2024. The abstract portal is now open! IPBIS encourages the submission of original paediatric brain injury research and/or effective approaches in clinical practice for presentation at the 2024 IPBIS Conference in Glasgow, Scotland. Abstracts accepted for presentation will be published in the journal, Brain Injury. As the leading international conference on the topic of paediatric brain injury, this event builds on the success of IPBIS’s prior conferences held in Liverpool (2015), Rome (2017), Belfast (2018), and New York (2022). With the theme Building a Better Future Together, this Conference will focus on the development of innovative treatments, rehabilitation programmes, support mechanisms and ways to improve the lives and potential of young people affected by brain injury. The educational programme will be inclusive of all issues relating to paediatric brain injury, both traumatic (e.g., external physical force injuries, penetrating injuries) and atraumatic (e.g., infectious diseases, tumours, stroke, neurotoxic poisonings, etc.).
Be a part of the Conference by submitting your paediatric brain injury research and/or effective approaches in clinical practice. Abstracts accepted for presentation will be published in the journal, Brain Injury.
The abstract portal is now closed. Abstract submission deadline was 15 April, 2024.
Educational Objectives
The Scientific Planning Committee is developing a broad educational programme that will address a wide range of brain injury topics, including:
- The epidemiology of acquired brain injuries in children and adolescents from a world health care perspective,
- Evidence-based research regarding the nature and efficacy of medical, clinical and educational rehabilitation of acquired brain injuries in children and adolescents,
- The varied causes of ABI in childhood, including medical conditions and non-accidental traumatic injuries,
- Protocols to support families affected by paediatric ABI, towards affecting change at National and International levels,
- Models of innovative systems, services and supports for children with ABI and their families, and
- How to better recognize, manage and treat mTBI/concussions in children/adolescents.
WHO WILL ATTEND?
The Conference will bring together multidisciplinary professionals with an interest in improving outcomes for children, adolescents, and young adults with acquired brain injury and their families/carers.
Attendees will be comprised of physicians, neuropsychologists, therapists, allied health professionals, and brain injury advocates. This list is not exhaustive and the organisers expect all multidisciplinary professionals involved in paediatric brain injury will benefit from this valuable opportunity to engage with experts, gain insights, and establish new collaborations.

UNMASKING BRAIN INJURY KIDS
Unmasking Brain Injury KIDS is a part of the worldwide awareness and advocacy project, Unmasking Brain Injury. The mission of Unmasking Brain Injury is to promote awareness of the prevalence of brain injury; to give survivors a voice and the means to educate others of what it’s like to live with a brain injury; to show others that persons living with a disability due to their brain injury are like anyone else, deserving dignity, respect, compassion and the opportunity to prove their values as citizens in their respective communities.
The goals of Unmasking Brain Injury KIDS are to enable children and young people who have experienced a brain injury:
1. To identify feelings associated with their brain injury
2. To translate these feelings into shapes, colors or images onto a paper mask outlines or a papier mâché mask
3. To increase awareness of the impacts and prevalence of paediatric brain injury
IPBIS has liaised with those responsible for the Unmasking Brain Injury project to produce guidance for those working or living with children and young people with ABI so that they also can participate in Unmasking Brain Injury KIDS. We now aim to get many submissions from young people around the world to participate in this programme and all the created masks will be displayed digitally at the upcoming 5th Biennial International Conference on Paediatric Acquired Brain Injury that will be held in Glasgow, Scotland (18-21 September, 2024).
