Why attending matters – and how to make the case for funding
The global physiotherapy profession will come together, 14-16 May 2027, in Guadalajara, Mexico.
Physiotherapists from around the world attend congress through a combination of personal investment and support from professional organisations, employers, and academic or clinical institutions.
Participation in congress offers a unique opportunity to gain international perspectives, advance clinical and professional knowledge, and engage with the global physiotherapy community.
Take time to reflect on what you want to achieve:
- Define your learning objectives and knowledge gaps and align them with congress sessions
- Consider your career direction and areas you want to explore
- Identify sessions, speakers, exhibitors, and connections that will support your growth
Plan ahead:
- Create a personalised schedule with a mix of “must-attend” sessions and space for discovery
- Stay flexible—some of the most valuable moments are often unexpected
- Engage with the community before and during the event using #WorldPhysio2027
Attending congress is not only an investment in you—it’s an investment in your organisation.
You can:
- Bring back new knowledge and ideas to improve practice and patient care
- Share insights through training sessions, presentations, or discussions with colleagues
- Collaborate with peers to identify solutions to your organisation’s challenges and problems
- Explore the exhibition to discover innovations, tools, and services that can improve efficiency and outcomes
- Develop a post-congress action plan to turn learning into measurable impact
